An evaluation of low volume high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT) for health risk reduction in overweight and obese men
Both sprint interval training (SIT) and high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT) have been described as time-efficient strategies for inducing favourable metabolic and cardiorespiratory adaptations in healthy and diseased participants. BACKGROUND: To date, little attention has been given to profi...

BACKGROUND: To date, little attention has been given to profiling the potential health benefits of HIIT or modified HIIT training within overweight and obese cohorts with particular focus on inflammation. Within this pilot trial, we tested the hypothesis that 6 sessions of HIIT performed over 2 weeks with 1-2 days’rest would improve aerobic capacity, glucose metabolism and inflammatory profile in an overweight and obese male cohort.

Exercise was performed either 6 (group 1, n = 8) or 4 (group 2, n = 10)times over a 2 week period. RESULTS: After training no changes were detected from baseline for body composition, aerobic capacity, glucose metabolism or inflammatory profile(p > 0.05) in either group.
