PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of brief intense interval training as exercise intervention for promoting health and to evaluate potential benefits about common interventions, that is, prolonged exercise and strength training. METHODS Thirty-six untrained men were divided into groups that completed 12 wk of intense interval running (INT; total training time 40 min wk(-1)), prolonged running (approximately 150 min wk(-1)), and strength training…

Effectiveness of Aerobic Exercise Programs for Health Promotion in Metabolic Syndrome.
TLDR
It is suggested that in sedentary individuals with MetS and low initial CRF level any aerobic training program of 16 wk with a frequency of three times per week is sufficient stimulus to raise CRF, and the more intense but shorter 1HIIT training program is not effective on improving MetS Z score, and thus its recommendation is cautioned.
High-Intensity Interval Training and Isocaloric Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training Result in Similar Improvements in Body Composition and Fitness in Obese Individuals.
TLDR
Results indicate that isocaloric training protocols of HIIT or MICT (or 1/2HIIT inducing only half the energy deficit) exert similar metabolic and cardiovascular improvements in sedentary obese individuals.
Continuous Exercise but Not High Intensity Interval Training Improves Fat Distribution in Overweight Adults
TLDR
HIIT may be advocated as a time-efficient strategy for eliciting comparable fitness benefits to traditional continuous exercise in inactive, overweight adults, however, in this population HIIT does not confer the same benefit to body fat levels as continuous exercise training.
Effect of aerobic exercise training followed by a low-calorie diet on metabolic syndrome risk factors in men.
Effects of a high-intensity interval training program versus a moderate-intensity continuous training program on maximal oxygen uptake and blood pressure in healthy adults: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
TLDR
This is the first study to test the effect of high-intensity interval training with total load duration of 7.5 min per session on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be evaluated as secondary outcome measures.
Evaluating the progressive cardiovascular health benefits of short-term high-intensity interval training
TLDR
Six weeks of high-intensity training increases aerobic fitness and is enough to stimulate initial reductions in peripheral pressure, but not sufficient to elicit structural and functional cardiac changes, reduce arterial stiffness or lower CV risk.
Twelve weeks of low volume sprint interval training improves cardio-metabolic health outcomes in overweight females
TLDR
The three training strategies are equally effective in improving V̇O2peak and reducing body mass, however, the SIT is time-efficient and high-intensity training seems to be more beneficial than MICT in improving insulin sensitivity.
High-intensity exercise training does not influence body weight but improves lipid oxidation in obese adults: a 6-week RCT
TLDR
In obese adults, HIT increased lipid contributions to energy release at rest and in response to incremental exercise, while there were no changes in participants’ aerobic capacity, which supports the hypothesis that metabolic changes rather than improved aerobic capacity are important to improve LO.
High versus Moderate Intensity Running Exercise to Impact Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: The Randomized Controlled RUSH-Study
TLDR
Both exercise programs were comparably effective for improving cardiometabolic indices and cardiorespiratory fitness in untrained middle-aged males.
The training and detraining effect of high-intensity interval training on post-exercise hypotension in young overweight/obese women
TLDR
It is suggested that six HIIT sessions is sufficient to affect clinically significant PEH responses in young, overweight/obese women; however, the training effects are lost within 2 weeks of detraining.

Effect of exercise intensity and volume on persistence of insulin sensitivity during training cessation.
TLDR
It is suggested that in overweight/obese subjects a relatively chronic persistence of enhanced insulin action may be obtained with endurance-oriented exercise training; this persistence, however, is dependent on the characteristics of the exercise training performed.
Effect of the volume and intensity of exercise training on insulin sensitivity.
TLDR
In conclusion, physical activity encompassing a wide range of intensity and volume minimizes the insulin resistance that develops with a sedentary lifestyle, however, an exercise prescription that incorporated approximately 170 min of exercise/wk improved insulin sensitivity more substantially than a program utilizing approximately 115 min/wk, regardless of exercise intensity andVolume.
Both aerobic endurance and strength training programmes improve cardiovascular health in obese adults.
TLDR
An important contribution towards improved aerobic work capacity, endothelial function and cardiovascular health originates from strength training, which may serve as a substitute when whole-body aerobic exercise is contra-indicated or difficult to perform.
Effects of aerobic training intensity on resting, exercise and post-exercise blood pressure, heart rate and heart-rate variability
TLDR
In participants at higher age, both training programmes exert similar effects on systolic blood pressure at rest, during exercise and during post-exercise recovery, whereas the effects on HR are more pronounced after higher intensity training.
Extremely short duration high intensity interval training substantially improves insulin action in young healthy males
TLDR
The efficacy of a high intensity exercise protocol, involving only ~250 kcal of work each week, to substantially improve insulin action in young sedentary subjects is remarkable and can be used as a strategy to reduce metabolic risk factors in young and middle aged sedentary populations who otherwise would not adhere to time consuming traditional aerobic exercise regimes.
Aerobic interval training reduces cardiovascular risk factors more than a multitreatment approach in overweight adolescents.
TLDR
It was found that 3 months of twice weekly high-intensity exercise sessions reduced several known cardiovascular risk factors in obese adolescents more than that observed after a multitreatment strategy, which was initiated as hospital treatment.
Similar metabolic adaptations during exercise after low volume sprint interval and traditional endurance training in humans
TLDR
Given the markedly lower training volume in the SIT group, these data suggest that high‐intensity interval training is a time‐efficient strategy to increase skeletal muscle oxidative capacity and induce specific metabolic adaptations during exercise that are comparable to traditional ET.

TLDR
The design of a program must be highly specific with regard to the exercise to be undertaken, as well as the intensity, duration, and frequency, in order to attain optimal results.

TLDR
A growing body of evidence suggests that low-volume, high-intensity interval training (HIT) may represent a time-efficient strategy to induce adaptations normally associated with endurance training.
Recreational soccer is an effective health-promoting activity for untrained men
TLDR
Participation in regular recreational soccer training, organised as small-sided drills, has significant beneficial effects on health profile and physical capacity for untrained men, and in some aspects it is superior to frequent moderate-intensity running.
