Acute effects of high-intensity interval training on adiponectin isoforms in inactive young adults: a quasi-experimental study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical inactivity is a key risk factor for metabolic disorders. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been recognized for its metabolic benefits, but its acute effects on adiponectin isoforms remain unclear. This study examines the impact of a single HIIT session on circulating adiponectin (high-molecular weight; HMW, medium-molecular-weight; MMW, and low-molecular weight; LMW) isoforms and metabolic outcomes in insufficiently active young adults.

Methods

A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 21 physically inactive adults (11 women, 10 men, mean age 22.7 ± 1.5 years). Participants performed a HIIT session consisting of six bouts at 80% heart rate reserve (HRR). Pre- and post-exercise blood samples were ana-lyzed for adiponectin isoforms via Western
