About this trial
During the exercise intervention "Death by Squats", which compasses body weight squats until maximum exertion, 25-30 subjects shall be tested for heart rate, the oxygen saturation of the vastus medialis and the triceps, resting and at maximum exertion blood lactate, as well as the rate of perceived exertion on the borg scale. At the end, all should indicate their primary reason for stopping (local fatigue, systemic fatigue, time constraints, motivational deficit).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Local and systemic SmO2 curve
Time frame
From the start of the exercise intervention until individual exhaustion (expected between 15 to 30 minutes), with SmO₂ continuously recorded during exercise and final measurement taken immediately upon exhaustion.Secondary outcomes
1
Type of sports practiced
Time frame
Questionnaire administered within 5 minutes after test completion to assess type of sports practiced.Other outcomes
1
Anthropometric parameters will be assessed
The following anthropometric parameters will be assessed: * body mass (kg) * body height (cm) * BMI (kg/m², calculated from body mass and height) * limb circumference (cm) * skinfold thickness (mm)
Time frame
Anthropometric measurements will be taken immediately after the completion of the exercise intervention (expected between 15 to 30 minutes after the start of exercise).2
Blood lactate concentration at rest and post-exercise
Time frame
At rest (prior to exercise) and immediately upon individual exhaustion (expected between 15 to 30 minutes after the start of exercise). Additional post-exercise measurements at 2, 5, and 10 minutes if applicable.Sponsors and contacts
