patients and methods twenty-two young men (age = 23.34 ± 2.56 years, weight = 72.47 ± 12.01 kg, and height = 174.10 ± 5.75 cm) were recruited and randomly assigned into control (n = 10) and hiit (n = 12) groups. echocardiography was used to evaluate left ventricular mass (lvm), end-systolic volume (esv), end-diastolic volume (edv), interventricular septal wall thickness (ivswt), stroke volume, ...

background: high intensity interval training (hiit) is a novel training method which has received most attention in recent years. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity interval training (hiit) on plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin in overweight nurses. m aterials and methods: 27 nurses (mean age 25.81±60 years, height 158.01±67 cm and weight 69.41±25 ...

objective(s):high-intensity interval training (hiit) increases energy expenditure and mechanical energy efficiency. although both uncoupling proteins (ucps) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos) affect the mechanical efficiency and antioxidant capacity, their effects are inverse. the aim of this study was to determine whether the alterations of cardiac ucp2, ucp3, and enos mrna expressio...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (hiit) on nitric oxide metabolites (no2 - , no3 - ) and myocardial infarct size after ischemia/reperfusion (i/r) injury in healthy male rats. methods: a total of 44 wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups including hiit (n=8), hiit + ir protocol (n=14), control (n=8), and control + ir (n...

The effects of in-season, high-intensity interval training on professional male soccer players' running performances were investigated. Twenty-two subjects participated in 2 consecutive training periods of 10 weeks. The first period was considered a control period and was compared with a period where 2 high-intensity interval training exercises were included in the usual training program. Inter...

the present research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of high intensity interval and medium continuous training on anaerobic and aerobic power female basketball players. the research method was quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest, and included all female basketball players in firoozkooh city, tehran province, iran in 2015. twenty female basketball players were enr...

The metabolic response to two different forms of high-intensity intermittent cycle exercise was investigated in young women. Subjects (8 trained and 8 untrained) performed two bouts of high-intensity intermittent exercise: short sprint (SS) (8-s sprint, 12-s recovery) and long sprint (LS) (24-s sprint, 36-s recovery) for 20 min on two separate occasions. Both workload and oxygen uptake were gre...

Performance in intense exercise events, such as Olympic rowing, swimming, kayak, track running and track cycling events, involves energy contribution from aerobic and anaerobic sources. As aerobic energy supply dominates the total energy requirements after ∼75s of near maximal effort, and has the greatest potential for improvement with training, the majority of training for these events is gene...

Soccer is a sport consisting of high-intensity intermittent exercise, with players making forays across their anaerobic threshold for tactical advantage followed by periods of recovery. The intensity and duration of these work and recovery bouts were defined during a men's soccer match using StepWatch Activity Monitors recording step rate for each 3-second period. The data were coded by custom ...
