Abstract

Background: A sedentary lifestyle can result in excessive fatigue. Aerobic exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, and fatigue. Cardiorespiratory exercise testing (CPET) is the most appropriate and effective tool for prescribing exercise programs. Objective: To compare the effect of exercise at an intensity above and below the anaerobic threshold (AT) on fatigue men with low activity. Methods: This study was an experimental single-blinded control trial with a pre-post design. There were 24 participants divided into two groups: group A (n = 12) received intensity training above the AT, and group B (n = 12) received intensity training below the AT. Both groups received treadmill aerobic exercises three times a week for 4 weeks. Fatigue levels were measured with the Fatigue Severity Scale questionnaire at the beginning and end of fourth week of intervention. Results: After four weeks, there was a significant improvement in fatigue levels in both the A group (p = 0.002) and the B group (p = 0.002). There was no statistically significant difference between the A group (-6.58 ± 5.62) and the B group (-4.67 ± 5.87) (p = 0.265). Conclusion: Both exercise intensity above and below the AT within 4 weeks showed improvement on fatigue level in men with low activity. Exercise intensity above AT was not superior compared to exercise intensity below AT in improving fatigue levels.
