Summary: This study evaluated the exercise intervention focused on high-intensity interval training in lung cancer survivors, showing a beneficial effect of HIIT in improving cardiorespiratory fitness, especially in early stages of lung cancer patients. However, due to limitations such as the small number of studies and heterogeneity in patient stages and subtypes, caution should be taken when interpreting the conclusions.

Summary: This study demonstrated the effectiveness of interval training compared to moderate-intensity continuous training for improving cardiorespiratory fitness in middle-aged and older adults. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint interval training (SIT) were found to be more effective in increasing VO2max compared to MICT.

Summary: In this study, a systematic review was conducted to examine the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in the entire study population. The results showed that all three HIIT modalities (HIIT-normal mixed, HIIT-long running, and HIIT-short cycling) significantly improved CRF.

Summary: The present meta-analysis examined the effects of low-volume high-intensity interval training (LV-HIIT) on cardiometabolic health and body composition. The results showed that LV-HIIT can improve cardiorespiratory fitness, lower blood pressure, and reduce fat mass, with no significant differences compared to moderate-intensity continuous training and high-volume HIIT.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to examine the efficacy of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate-intensity continuous aerobic training (MCT) on exercise tolerance in patients with heart failure (HF). The meta-analysis showed that HIIT achieved a significantly higher peak VO2 than MCT in HF patients.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effects of low volume high-intensity interval training (LVHIIT) on metabolic and cardiorespiratory outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The analysis included 5 randomized controlled trials, and the results showed that LVHIIT significantly improved glycemic control, insulin resistance, body weight, lipid profile, blood pressure, and peak oxygen uptake in T2DM patients. The findings suggest that LVHIIT has significant therapeutic benefits for T2DM patients in improving their overall metabolic and cardiovascular health.

Summary: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of school-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiorespiratory fitness and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in children with obesity. The results showed that regular HIIT sessions in schools can improve body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and physical activity in students with obesity.

Summary: This study compared the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on adults with overweight and obesity. The results showed no significant differences in weight, BMI, waist circumference, or body fat mass between the two training methods, but a moderately beneficial effect of HIIT on insulin sensitivity was observed. The study had limitations in terms of heterogeneity in training protocols and measurements, as well as a risk of bias.

Summary: Previous research has examined the effects of High-intensity interval training (HIIT) on resting blood pressure (BP) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), as well as the responses of individuals to these physiological outcomes. However, the minimal detectable change (MDC) in BP and CRF has not been addressed yet. This study aimed to compare the MDC90 of BP and CRF in the context of a school-based HIIT program for adolescents. The results showed that DBP required a greater change in order to exceed the MDC90, compared to SBP and CRF.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of dietary beetroot supplementation on power output during HIIT and SIT exercises, showing no significant improvement in performance. Future research may investigate optimizing beetroot supplementation strategies for potential ergogenic benefits.

Summary: The study found that high-intensity interval training can significantly improve cardiorespiratory fitness in overweight and obese adults, with effects modified by sex and baseline fitness levels. Further research is needed to identify the most appropriate training variables to optimize HIIT programs.

Summary: The study suggests that short sprint interval training (sSIT) is highly effective in improving maximal oxygen consumption (V?O(2)max), aerobic, and anaerobic performances in physically active young healthy adults and athletes. Various exercise modes, such as cycling, running, paddling, and punching, can benefit from sSIT protocols.

Summary: This article investigates the potential benefits of yoga for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. The studies suggest that yoga may be safe and beneficial for the wellbeing of individuals with MCI or dementia, with improvements in cognition, mood, and balance reported. However, the high risk of bias in the studies limits the robustness of these findings. More high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to improve the evidence base and address the limitations of existing studies.

Summary: Females with T2D are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease than males. Limited evidence exists on the feasibility of aerobic training in adults with T2D, specifically segregated by sex. A secondary analysis of a 12-week randomized controlled trial revealed that females had lower recruitment rates, were less adherent to the intervention, and experienced more adverse events, but also experienced greater health improvements from aerobic training compared to males.

Summary: Maintaining blood glucose within the target range is the primary treatment goal for women with gestational diabetes mellitus. This pilot study explored the associations of glycaemic load, carbohydrates, and physical activity parameters on blood glucose concentrations in free-living women with GDM. The study found that physical activity, specifically the total stepping time, had a significant relationship with lower 24-hour glucose iAUC and nocturnal glucose, suggesting it may be an effective strategy to improve maternal blood glucose concentrations.

Summary: Exercise can reduce liver fat and improve biomarkers of liver fibrosis in NAFLD by decreasing serum fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21 levels. This study suggests that the decrease in FGF21 may be a mechanism for the benefits of exercise in improving liver fat and fibrosis.

Summary: Exercise is a key component of NAFLD treatment, and its mechanisms involve modulating fatty acid metabolism, reducing hepatic inflammation, and improving liver fibrosis. The activation of key receptors and pathways plays a role in the degree of NAFLD-related improvements, which can be influenced by exercise type, intensity, and volume. Importantly, the therapeutic targets of exercise are also the focus of drug development studies for NASH, and exercise is likely to remain integral in the clinical management of NAFLD and NASH even with the availability of approved drugs.

Summary: This study explored the experiences and perspectives of people with NASH regarding both professionally supervised and self-directed HIIT. The participants lacked knowledge and confidence in HIIT and faced multiple complex barriers to starting and continuing HIIT. Support from exercise specialists was found to be a key enabler for sustained engagement.

Summary: Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease, affecting 25% of people globally and up to 80% of people with obesity. Regular aerobic exercise for 150-240 minutes per week can reduce hepatic steatosis, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) may have similar benefits. Resistance training should also be considered.

Summary: This study examines the quantity and cost of in-person and telehealth exercise physiology services reimbursed under the Medicare Benefits Schedule in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show that despite disruptions in service, the quantity and cost of these services remained relatively constant. Telehealth uptake for exercise physiology was minimal during this time.
