Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on vascular function. The results showed that HIIT effectively improves vascular function, especially in individuals with cardiometabolic diseases, compared to moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) or no exercise (CON).

Summary: This study compared the effects of 100- and 200-m interval training in swimming on temporal, perceptual, and physiological responses. The results showed that there were no significant differences in oxygen uptake, blood lactate, and perceived exertion between the two protocols. Both protocols were effective for aerobic power enhancement, but swimmers perceived the 100-m interval training as less difficult than the 200-m training.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a short-term high-intensity interval training program on cortisol levels in basketball players. The results showed that the implementation of interval training had a positive impact on pituitary function parameters and contributed to the regulation of energy consumption during exercise and the reduction of physiological stress.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity interval training (MIIT) on patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The results showed that HIIT was beneficial for improving diastolic function in HFpEF patients, but did not significantly improve systolic function and CRF.

Summary: This study found that both high intensity interval training (HIIT) and continuous training (CT) can improve cardiac function in adolescent rats, with HIIT showing better results and less myocardial damage. Additionally, high and moderate intensities in HIIT have similar cardiac benefits. The study also suggests that myocardial damage induced by high intensity continuous training (HI-CT) may be associated with serum phospholipids.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) compared to moderate intensity training (MIT) and other exercise modalities on endothelial function in patients with cardiovascular disease. The results showed that long HIIT was superior to MIT in improving brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on the quality of life (QOL) and mental health (MH) of patients with cardiovascular disease (CVDs). The study found that both HIIT and MICT had similar effects on QOL and MH in CVD patients. However, HIIT showed significant improvements in physical component summary (PCS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and performed better in physical role, vitality, and social function compared to MICT.

Summary: This study found that more exercise training during childhood and adolescence was associated with favorable left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and individuals with an HCM-causative genotype. The results indicate that exercise training initiated during childhood and adolescence has positive effects on cardiac function later in life for individuals with HCM or an HCM-causative genotype.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on postoperative complications and lung function in patients with lung cancer. The results showed that HIIT can improve the maximum oxygen uptake and forced expiratory volume in one second of lung cancer patients, as well as reduce the incidence of postoperative atelectasis. However, there was no significant effect of HIIT on postoperative arrhythmia, length of hospitalization, or exercise performance of lung cancer patients.

Summary: Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death globally, with the prevalence increasing due to comorbidities and an aging population. A translational research platform that evaluates cardiovascular function in healthy and diseased conditions and tests new treatments can help reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases.

Summary: Combining moderate-intensity exercise training with hypoxic exposure may lead to greater improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors and health status compared to normoxic exercise training. Hypoxic high-volume HIIT (H-HIIT) may result in greater improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and health status despite lower absolute training workload compared to normoxic HIIT (N-HIIT).

Summary: This study investigated whether high-intensity exercise training alters the effect of N-acetylcysteine on exercise-related muscle ionic shifts. The results showed that high-intensity exercise training not only enhances the ability to counter exercise-related ionic shifts, but also potentiates the effect of N-acetylcysteine on ionic shifts during exercise.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the dose-response of a recreational team handball exercise-based programme on cardiometabolic health and physical fitness in inactive middle-aged-to-elderly males without TH experience. The results showed that performing three 60-minute team handball exercise sessions per week can improve aerobic performance in middle-aged-to-elderly men, and it is more effective than training with a lower weekly frequency.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the positive impact of the 11 for Health programme on the physical fitness of Chinese primary school students. The results showed that the experimental group, who participated in small-sided football sessions, exhibited greater improvements in systolic blood pressure, postural balance, standing long jump, 30-metre sprint, and Yo-Yo IR1C running performance compared to the control group. Additionally, both groups experienced an increase in physical activity enjoyment during the intervention period.

Summary: This study examined the physical and physiological demands and perceived experience of recreational team handball for middle-aged/elderly men and women, comparing same- vs. mixed-gender 6v6 game formats. The results showed that mixed-gender matches are more demanding for women in terms of heart rate and physical exertion, while same-gender matches require higher cardiovascular and activity profile demands for men. However, team handball is a high-intensity and motivating exercise mode for both genders, regardless of the gender game format.

Summary: This narrative review paper discusses the applications of machine learning in soccer, specifically focusing on injury risk assessment. It also provides practical tips for health and performance staff in soccer clubs on leveraging machine learning for a competitive advantage. While performance analysis is the most researched area, other domains such as injury risk assessment, workload monitoring, movement analysis, career trajectory, club performance, and match attendance also utilize machine learning. However, machine learning currently lacks high predictive ability for injuries but can help identify early signs of elevated risk. Future research should consider the dynamic nature of musculoskeletal injuries for more meaningful results.
