Adherence to exercise interventions aimed at improving
cardiac health in sedentary women may be affected by
lack of time to exercise. This study evaluated the
efficacy and acceptability of short-bout football
training (twice weekly for 13.5 min. over 16 weeks) in
sedentary pre-menopausal women using 31P spectroscopy to
assess metabolic adaptations in muscle. Results
indicated a significant increase in time-to-failure on a
ramp muscle test and a significantly higher end-exercise
PCr value in participants after exposure to the training
intervention. Evidence that shorter training regimes
improve cardiac health may reduce barriers to exercise
and increase compliance in target populations.
