Effect of HIIT on hemostasis and vascular stiffness: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several small randomized trials have examined the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on hemostasis and vascular stiffness. However, a clear consensus regarding these effects has not been established. The study is to systematically review the evidence and quantify the impacts of HIIT compared with moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) or usual care (UC) on hemostasis and vascular stiffness.

Methods

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the impact of HIIT, MICT, or UC on hemostasis and vascular stiffness were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases up to June 10, 2025. A meta-analysis was performed to compare the standardized mean differences (SMD) of changes from baseline to post-intervention in platelet
