Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The objective of this study is to examine the effects of a 6-week repeated sprint training (RST) intervention on metabolic flexibility and intramuscular adipose tissue (IntraMAT) in healthy young non-obese women. Metabolic flexibility will be assessed by measuring the changes in fat oxidation and respiratory quotientat at rest after intake high-fat meal. Menstrual cycle and salivary hormone levels will not be controlled in order to reflect real-world intervention effects.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The changes in respiratory quotient and fat oxidation after intake high fat meal and IntraMAT of the thigh will be assessed before and after the 6 week intervention. Respiratory quotient and fat oxidation will be calculated from oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide excretion measured by indirect calorimetry during a steady state protocol.

Interventions/Control_1

Participants in the intervention group will perform repeated sprint training (RST) for 6 weeks, three times per week. Each session will last approximately 15 minutes, including warm-up, fifteen 8-second all-out sprints with 12-second rest intervals, and cool-down.

Interventions/Control_2

Participants in the control group will not receive any training intervention and will maintain their usual lifestyle. Measurements will be conducted at the same time points as in the intervention group.

Number of participants that the trial has enrolled

28

Results

No significant changes were observed in MF or IntraMAT content in either group. However, the RST group showed a significant increase in total thigh muscle CSA compared with pre-intervention (P < 0.05), with no changes in fat-free fat mass. Metabolic markers including glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR remained unchanged.

Baseline Characteristics

Participants were healthy, non obese women aged 18 to 29 years (BMI 18.5 to 24.9) with no regular exercise habits.

Participant flow

28 participants provided consent and were enrolled. They were assigned to the intervention group (n = 14) or control group (n = 14). All participants completed the 6-week study.

Adverse events

No adverse events were reported.

Outcome measures

Primary outcome: Respiratory quotient, fat oxidation, carbohydrate oxidation, intramuscular adipose tissue (IntraMAT)

Secondary outcomes: Body composition (fat mass, free-fat mass), muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), blood glucose, serum insulin
