Conditions

Physical conditioning Heart rate Anaerobic threshold

Interventions

Experimental groups: 40 untrained young will take only one caffeine pill (n=20
100 mg) or one green tea extract pill (Camellia sinensis) (n=20
500 mg). Control group: 20 untrained young will take one placebo pill (100 mg of maltodextrin). All the participants take the single dose of pill 30 minutes before the treadmill-test protocol

Eligibility

Age
20 Years to 35 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Youngs of both genders, aged between 20-35, insufficient active by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: No additional orthopedic deficiencies impairing ambulation Diabetic individuals Individuals with cardiopathies Individuals with body mass index maior que 30 Kg/m2 Regular caffeine or green tea drinkers Individuals with intolerance to caffeine or green tea

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
A non-linear increase in ventilatory anaerobic threshold in volunteers that had taken the green tea pill. To the ventilatory anaerobic threshold assessment will be used a gases analysis equipment. To the verification of this outcome, will be considered a variation of at least 10% in relation to caffeine group and 20% in relation to placebo group

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
An increase of at least 20% in heart rate variability, verified by heart monitor, in volunteers that had taken the green tea pill in relation to caffeine group and 30% in relation group to placebo group
