About this study

We hypothesize, based on field and scientific data, that setting a very ambitious goal such as completing a mountain ultra-marathon could motivate sedentary and inactive individuals not only to begin training but also to follow a progressive yet extremely ambitious program that has not yet been studied comprehensively. Indeed, the effects of intense and prolonged endurance training (18 months) on the health and performance of completely sedentary individuals have never been investigated exhaustively.

This description comes directly from the study's public registry record.
