Effects of practical models of low-volume high-intensity interval training on glycemic control and insulin resistance in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the effects of practical models of low-volume high-intensity interval training protocols (LV-HIIT) on glucose control and insulin resistance compared with moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) protocols and no-exercise controls (CON).

Methods

Four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) were searched for randomized controlled studies conducted using LV-HIIT interventions (HIIT/SIT protocols involving ≤ 15 min of intense training, within a session lasting ≤ 30 min; < 30 s all-out sprint for SIT additionally). The inclusion criteria required glucose and insulin resistance markers to be evaluated pre- and post-intervention among adults who were not trained athletes
