Comparison of the lymphocyte response to interval exercise versus continuous exercise in recreationally trained men.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this investigation was to compare changes in circulating lymphocyte subset cell counts between high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE), sprint interval exercise (SIE), and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE). Recreationally active men (n ​= ​11; age: 23 ​± ​4 ​yr; height: 179.9 ​± ​4.5 ​cm; body mass: 79.8 ​± ​8.7 ​kg; body fat %:12.6 ​± ​3.8%; V̇O₂max: 46.6 ​± ​3.9 ​ml⋅kg^-1⋅min^-1) completed a maximal graded exercise test to determine maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O₂max) and three duration-matched cycling trials (HIIE, SIE, and MICE) in a randomized, counterbalanced fashion. HIIE consisted of fifteen 90-s bouts at 85% V̇O₂max interspersed with 90-s active recovery periods. SIE consisted of fifteen 20-s bouts at 130%
