The acute physiological and perceptual effects of recovery interval intensity during cycling-based high-intensity interval training

High-intensity Interval Training and Obesity

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has become a promising strategy to induce a number of metabolic adaptations and alter body composition. Recent evidence suggests that HIIT can be a time-efficient strategy to promote health in sedentary overweight/obese individuals. This may be contrary to the belief held by some health professionals that training programs at high intensity are not approp...

High-intensity interval training in cardiac rehabilitation.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is frequently used in sports training. The effects on cardiorespiratory and muscle systems have led scientists to consider its application in the field of cardiovascular diseases. The objective of this review is to report the effects and interest of HIIT in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure (HF), as well as in persons with high...

High - Intensity Interval Training : New Insights

Regular endurance training improves performance during tasks that rely mainly on aerobic energy metabolism, in large part by increasing the body’s ability to transport and utilize oxygen and by altering substrate metabolism in working skeletal muscle (Saltin & Gollnick, 1983). In contrast, highintensity “sprint”-type exercise training is generally thought to have less of an effect on oxidative ...

Effects of High Intensity Cycling Interval Training on Endurance Performance in Ice-hockey Players

Evidence based exercise - clinical benefits of high intensity interval training.

BACKGROUND Aerobic exercise has a marked impact on cardiovascular disease risk. Benefits include improved serum lipid profiles, blood pressure and inflammatory markers as well as reduced risk of stroke, acute coronary syndrome and overall cardiovascular mortality. Most exercise programs prescribed for fat reduction involve continuous, moderate aerobic exercise, as per Australian Heart Foundatio...
