Risk of bias and reporting practices in studies comparing VO_2max responses to sprint interval vs. continuous training: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It remains unclear whether studies comparing maximal oxygen uptake (VO_2max) response to sprint interval training (SIT) vs. moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) are associated with a high risk of bias and poor reporting quality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of bias and quality of reporting in studies comparing changes in VO_2max between SIT and MICT.

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive literature search of 4 major databases: AMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, and MEDLINE. Studies were excluded if participants were not healthy adult humans or if training protocols were unsupervised, lasted less than 2 weeks, or utilized mixed exercise modalities. We used the Cochrane Collaboration tool and the CONSORT checklist for non-pharmac
