Project description:BackgroundExercise-induced metabolic changes, especially lipidomic changes are generally associated with improvements in cardiovascular health. Despite numerous previous studies, the differences in lipidomic profile response to different types of exercise training remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate how two different exercise intensities affect aerobic capacity and serum lipidomic profiles in healthy adolescents.MethodsTwenty-four healthy untrained male adolescents (13.08 ± 0.88 years old) were recruited and randomly assigned to moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) group or sprint interval training (SIT) group to complete a specific training on a cycle ergometer for 6 weeks. Peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and body composition were measured, and blood samples were collected for serum lipoproteins and lipidomic analysis. Anthropometric, VO2peak, and serum biochemical data were analyzed using two-way repeated analysis of variance, while targeted lipidomic analysis was performed by principal component analysis and paired-sample t-test.ResultsVO2peak significantly improved from 39.05 ± 8.17 to 47.52 ± 8.51 [F (1, 44) = 14.75, p < 0.05] for MICT and from 40.13 ± 6.37 to 48.42 ± 7.01 [F (1, 44) = 14.75, p < 0.05] for SIT. A total of 28 lipids in MICT and 5 lipids in SIT showed significant changes out of 276 identified lipids (FC > 1.5 or <1/1.5, FDR <0.05). In MICT, 21 lipids, including sphingolipid (SP) and phospholipid (PL), decreased, while 7 lipids increased. In SIT, all 5 lipids, which were free fatty acid (FFA), decreased.ConclusionAlthough both MICT and SIT induced similar and significant improvements in VO2peak, serum lipid adaptations to the training differed. The primary changes in serum lipidomic intermediates for both types of training were reductions; however, SIT affected FFA, while MICT predominantly influenced SPs and PLs.

Project description:Introduction and aimsHigh intensity interval training (HIIT) is considered as an alternative exercise modality to moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) for heart failure (HF) patients. Yet a growing number of trials demonstrated inconsistent findings about the effectiveness of HIIT versus MICT until SMARTEX study and OptimEx-Clin study have made a consistent negative conclusion that HIIT was not superior to MICT. The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis involving a subgroup analysis of total exercise time (TET) and disease categories of HF to investigate if TET could affect the superiority of HIIT when compared with MICT.Methods and resultsAn electronic literature search of Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and ClinicalTrials.gov was performed for this review. 16 studies of 661 patients were finally pooled into quantitative synthesis. The weighted mean difference (WMD) and standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for quantitative synthesis of outcomes. HIIT was superior to MICT in improving peak oxygen consumption (Peak VO2) (WMD: 1.68 ml · kg-1 · min-1 95% CI: 0.81 to 2.55 n = 661). The subgroup analysis of TET showed that HIIT was superior to MICT in improving Peak VO2 in "short time" subgroup (WMD: 1.61 ml · kg-1 · min-1 95% CI: 0.45 to 2.77 n = 166) and in "medium time" subgroup (WMD: 1.74 ml · kg-1 · min-1 95% CI: 0.53 to 2.95 n = 420), and that there was no significant difference between HIIT and MICT in improving Peak VO2 in "long time" subgroup (WMD: 0.62 ml · kg-1 · min-1 95% CI: -1.34 to 2.58 n = 75).ConclusionsThe superiority of HIIT to MICT in improving Peak VO2 arose in a short to medium length of TET whereas it was effaced by an increment of TET. This "paradox" of TET on HIIT versus MICT might be due to the increasing poor adherence to target exercise intensity over time.Trial registrationPROSPERO registration number: CRD42022375076.

Project description:Exercise adherence is affected by factors including perceptions of enjoyment, time availability, and intrinsic motivation. Approximately 50% of individuals withdraw from an exercise program within the first 6 mo of initiation, citing lack of time as a main influence. Time efficient exercise such as high intensity interval training (HIIT) may provide an alternative to moderate intensity continuous exercise (MICT) to elicit substantial health benefits. This study examined differences in enjoyment, affect, and perceived exertion between MICT and HIIT. Twelve recreationally active men and women (age = 29.5 ± 10.7 yr, VO2max = 41.4 ± 4.1 mL/kg/min, BMI = 23.1 ± 2.1 kg/m2) initially performed a VO2max test on a cycle ergometer to determine appropriate workloads for subsequent exercise bouts. Each subject returned for two additional exercise trials, performing either HIIT (eight 1 min bouts of cycling at 85% maximal workload (Wmax) with 1 min of active recovery between bouts) or MICT (20 min of cycling at 45% Wmax) in randomized order. During exercise, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), affect, and blood lactate concentration (BLa) were measured. Additionally, the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) was completed after exercise. Results showed higher enjoyment (p = 0.013) in response to HIIT (103.8 ± 9.4) versus MICT (84.2 ± 19.1). Eleven of 12 participants (92%) preferred HIIT to MICT. However, affect was lower (p<0.05) and HR, RPE, and BLa were higher (p<0.05) in HIIT versus MICT. Although HIIT is more physically demanding than MICT, individuals report greater enjoyment due to its time efficiency and constantly changing stimulus.Trial registrationNCT:02981667.

Project description:Aging and diabetes are associated with decreased aerobic fitness, an independent predictor of mortality. Aerobic exercise is prescribed to improve aerobic fitness; however, middle-aged/older diabetic patients often suffer from mobility limitations which restrict walking. Non-weight-bearing/low-impact exercise is recommended but the optimal exercise prescription is uncertain. The goal of this randomized controlled trial was twofold: 1) to test if high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), implemented on a non-weight-bearing all-extremity ergometer, are feasible, well-tolerated and safe in middle-aged/older adults with type 2 diabetes; and 2) to test whether all-extremity HIIT is more effective in improving aerobic fitness than MICT. A total of 58 sedentary individuals with type 2 diabetes (46 to 78 years; 63 ± 1) were randomized to all-extremity HIIT (n = 23), MICT (n = 19) or non-exercise control (CONT; n = 16). All-extremity HIIT and MICT, performed 4×/week for 8 weeks under supervision, resulted in no adverse events requiring hospitalization or medical treatment. Aerobic fitness (VO2peak) improved by 10% in HIIT and 8% in MICT and maximal exercise tolerance increased by 1.8 and 1.3 min, respectively (P ≤ 0.002 vs. baseline; P ≥ 0.9 for HIIT vs. MICT). In conclusion, all-extremity HIIT and MICT are feasible, well-tolerated and safe and result in similar improvements in aerobic fitness in middle-aged/older individuals with type 2 diabetes. These findings have important implications for exercise prescription for diabetic patients; they indicate that all-extremity exercise is a feasible alternative to weight-bearing exercise and those who are unable or unwilling to engage in HIIT may receive similar benefits from MICT.

Project description:A common inclusion criterion when assessing cerebrovascular (CVR) metrics is for individuals to abstain from exercise for 12-24 hr prior to data collections. While several studies have examined CVR during exercise, the literature describing CVR throughout post-exercise recovery is sparse. The current investigation examined CVR measurements in nine participants (seven male) before and for 8 hr following three conditions: 45-min moderate-continuous exercise (at ~50% heart-rate reserve), 25-min high-intensity intervals (ten, one-minute intervals at ~85% heart-rate reserve), and a control day (30-min quiet rest). The hypercapnic (40-60 mmHg) and hypocapnic (25-40 mmHg) slopes were assessed via a modified rebreathing technique and controlled stepwise hyperventilation, respectively. All testing was initiated at 8:00a.m. with transcranial Doppler ultrasound measurements to index cerebral blood velocity performed prior to the condition (pre) with serial follow-ups at zero, one, two, four, six, and eight hours within the middle and posterior cerebral artery (MCA, PCA). Absolute and relative MCA and PCA hypercapnic slopes were attenuated following high-intensity intervals at hours zero and one (all p < .02). No alterations were observed in either hypocapnic or hypercapnic slopes following the control or moderate-continuous exercise (all p > .13), aside from a reduced relative hypercapnic MCA slope at hours zero and one following moderate-continuous exercise (all p < .005). The current findings indicate the common inclusion criteria of a 12-24 hr time restriction on exercise can be reduced to two hours when performing CVR measures. Furthermore, the consistent nature of the CVR indices throughout the control day indicate reproducible testing sessions can be made between 8:00a.m. and 7:00p.m.

Project description:BackgroundPoststroke guidelines recommend moderate-intensity, continuous aerobic training (MCT) to improve aerobic capacity and mobility after stroke. High-intensity interval training (HIT) has been shown to be more effective than MCT among healthy adults and people with heart disease. However, HIT and MCT have not been compared previously among people with stroke.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and justification for a definitive randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing HIT and MCT in people with chronic stroke.DesignA preliminary RCT was conducted.SettingThe study was conducted in a cardiovascular stress laboratory and a rehabilitation research laboratory.PatientsAmbulatory people at least 6 months poststroke participated.InterventionBoth groups trained 25 minutes, 3 times per week, for 4 weeks. The HIT strategy involved 30-second bursts at maximum-tolerated treadmill speed alternated with 30- to 60-second rest periods. The MCT strategy involved continuous treadmill walking at 45% to 50% of heart rate reserve.MeasurementsMeasurements included recruitment and attendance statistics, qualitative HIT acceptability, adverse events, and the following blinded outcome variables: peak oxygen uptake, ventilatory threshold, metabolic cost of gait, fractional utilization, fastest treadmill speed, 10-Meter Walk Test, and Six-Minute Walk Test.ResultsDuring the 8-month recruitment period, 26 participants consented to participate. Eighteen participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the HIT group (n=13) or the MCT group (n=5). Eleven out of the 13 HIT group participants attended all sessions. Participants reported that HIT was acceptable and no serious adverse events occurred. Standardized effect size estimates between groups were moderate to very large for most outcome measures. Only 30% of treadmill speed gains in the HIT group translated into overground gait speed improvement.LimitationsThe study was not designed to definitively test safety or efficacy.ConclusionsAlthough further protocol optimization is needed to improve overground translation of treadmill gains, a definitive RCT comparing HIT and MCT appears to be feasible and warranted.

Project description:BackgroundModerate-intensity continuous training (MICT) is strongly recommended for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) treatment. However, recent studies have suggested that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) would promote great benefits for cardiac autonomic control. Therefore, we investigated whether the benefits of HIIT related to cardiovascular autonomic control were greater than those of MICT in women with PCOS.MethodsWomen with PCOS were randomly allocated through a blind draw into three groups: control, MICT, and HIIT. The control group did not undergo exercise, whereas those in the MICT and HIIT groups underwent 16 weeks of aerobic physical training. All groups were evaluated before and after the 16 weeks of intervention in the following aspects: quantification of serum lipids, testosterone, fasting insulin and blood glucose; physical fitness through cardiopulmonary testing; analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) by linear (time domain and frequency domain) and non-linear (symbolic analysis) methods, analysis of blood pressure variability (BPV) and spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS).ResultsThe final analysis, each group comprised 25 individuals. All groups had similar baseline parameters. After 16 weeks, intragroup comparison showed that the MICT and HIIT groups had a reduction in baseline heart rate (P < 0.001; P < 0.001, respectively) and testosterone levels P < 0.037; P < 0.012, respectively) associated with an increase in VO2peak (MICT, P < 0.001; HIIT, P < 0.001). The MICT (P < 0.36) and HIIT (P < 0.17) groups also showed an increase in cardiac vagal modulation, however only observed in the non-linear analysis. The intergroup comparison showed no differences between the MICT and HIIT groups in any of the hormonal, metabolic and autonomic parameters evaluated, including testosterone, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), HRV, BPV and BRS.ConclusionHIIT and MICT showed similar results for the different parameters evaluated. This suggests that both training protocols can be recommended for the treatment of PCOS. Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (RBR-78qtwy).

Project description:BackgroundObesity is associated with several comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and may have its origin in early life stages, such as in the lactation period, through metabolic programming. Physical activity aids in decreasing the chances of developing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, even with small weight losses and, in children, can play an essential role in preventing weight gain and other health problems. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of moderate intensity endurance training and high intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols on obesity-related parameters and cardiorespiratory capacity in overfed Wistar rats throughout the breastfeeding period.MethodsTwo days after birth, forty male and female Wistar rats were clustered into two groups: Control Litter Group (CL; ten animals/litter) and Reduced Litter Group (RL; four animals/litter). At weaning, RL animals were distributed randomly into three experimental groups: sedentary, moderate intensity endurance training and HIIT, while CL animals were clustered into a sedentary group.ResultsRL male and female body weight, before weaning, was significantly higher when compared with CL animals. This difference was maintained between CLSed and RLSed groups after weaning during all assessed periods. Adiposity was significantly higher in RLSed males when compared to CLSed males, and alterations in glycaemic metabolism were also observed. Endurance and HIIT protocols were efficient in improving maximal cardiorespiratory capacity, as well as concerning the glycemic metabolism and central fat accumulation of males and females submitted to childhood overfeeding by the litter reduction method.ConclusionsBoth moderate endurance training and HIIT protocols included in early life were efficient in reverting or preventing certain metabolic alterations as a consequence of overfeeding during breastfeeding in male and female Wistar rats.

Project description:IntroductionSince adolescents with obesity are prone to bone fragility during weight loss, the aim was to compare the impact of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on bone density, geometry, and strength.MethodsSixty-one adolescents were randomly assigned to 2 cycling trainings (HIIT and MICT) and a control (CTR, without training) group. Anthropometry, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry with hip structural analysis and the trabecular bone score (TBS) were assessed before and after the 16-week intervention.ResultsBody mass index (BMI) and fat mass (FM) percentage decreased at T1 versus T0 in both training groups (p < 0.001 for HIIT, p = 0.01 for MICT), though to a larger extent in HIIT (p < 0.05). Total body bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) increased in both training groups (p < 0.001), but to a greater extent in HIIT for BMC (p < 0.05). Lumbar spine BMD and BMC increased in both training groups (p < 0.001 for HIIT, p < 0.01 for MICT), with a time × group interaction between HIIT and CTR (p < 0.05) only. TBS increased in both training groups (p < 0.01 for HIIT, p < 0.05 for MICT). Hip BMD and BMC increased in both HIIT (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01) and MICT (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05). At the narrow neck (NN), endocortical diameter, width (p < 0.01), cross-sectional moment of inertia, and section modulus (Z) (p < 0.05) increased only in the HIIT group, such as BMD and Z (p < 0.05) at the intertrochanteric region (IT) and average cortical thickness (p < 0.001) and width (p < 0.05) at the femoral shaft. At the NN and IT, the buckling ratio decreased only in the HIIT group (p < 0.05), predicting higher resistance to fracture.ConclusionsIn addition to inducing greater BMI and FM percentage decreases in comparison to MICT, HIIT improves multisite bone density, geometry, and strength, which heighten the justification for HIIT as part of weight loss interventions in adolescents with obesity.
