Comparison of high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training on cardiopulmonary function, cardiac autonomic function and vascular function in adolescent boys with obesity: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Adolescent obesity can impair cardiopulmonary function, vascular elasticity, endothelial function, and vago-sympathetic balance. While moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) benefits cardiovascular health in obese adolescents, the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are less understood. We hypothesize that HIIT may be more effective than MICT in improving VO₂peak, vascular elasticity, endothelial function, and vago-sympathetic balance in obese adolescent boys. Forty four participants were randomly assigned to the HIIT (10 × 1-min at 85%-95% peak HR, intersperse with 2-min active recovery at 60%-70% peak HR) or MICT (35 min at 65%-75% peak HR) for an 8-week program. The primary outcome measured was the change in VO_2peak with secondary outcomes inc
