Summary: This study compared the acute physiological, perceptual, and enjoyment responses between bodyweight high-intensity interval exercise (BW-HIIE) and treadmill running high-intensity interval exercise (RUN-HIIE). The results showed that BW-HIIE elicited higher oxygen consumption, blood lactate, heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion compared to RUN-HIIE, while the physical activity enjoyment was similar between the two exercises.

Summary: The study found that both high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) have positive effects on executive function and oculomotor performance in late middle-aged and older adults. Both exercise modes were able to reduce reaction times in performance tasks, while HIIE showed a more significant improvement in oculomotor control compared to MICE.

Summary: The study showed that performing 6 sessions of HIIT over 5 days was as effective as doing 6 sessions over 2 weeks in increasing VO2max and endurance capacity, and even more effective in improving submaximal exercise fat oxidation.

Summary: This systematic review evaluates the acute and chronic effects of BFR + HIIT and finds that combining BFR with HIIT enhances physiological improvements in aerobic, muscular, and to some extent, anaerobic performance.

Summary: This study investigated potential sex differences in the hemodynamic response to high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and found that there were no sex differences in peak relative VO2, CO, or SV, although absolute values were higher in men. Unique hemodynamic responses may not explain previously reported differences in VO2max response to HIIE.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of cold ambient temperatures on acute metabolism during high-intensity interval exercise and postprandial metabolism the following day. Results showed that HIIE exercise in a cold environment can increase lipid oxidation during exercise, but has minimal impact on postprandial lipid metabolism.

Summary: This study evaluated the acute cardiac stress response after high-intensity interval training in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy controls. The findings showed changes in certain cardiac parameters after exercise in both groups, while the T2D group had a higher rate of pre-existing cardiac arrhythmias that remained unchanged after exercise.

Summary: This study investigates the role of gut microbiota in the incubation of methamphetamine (METH) craving and addiction. The results show that dysbiosis of gut microbiota, damage to the intestinal barrier, and activation of microglia in the brain are involved in the incubation of METH craving. Depleting the gut microbiota prevents the incubation of METH craving and reduces the population of Klebsiella oxytoca bacteria. Manipulating gut-derived bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels and microglial morphology can also decrease METH craving after withdrawal.

Summary: Most studies on HIIT for breast cancer survivors are lab-based with supervised interventions, showing promising results in improving cardiorespiratory fitness. Additional research is needed to determine the effects of HIIT on other outcomes.

Summary: Consuming oatmeal before high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can significantly reduce exercise-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and also lead to significant differences in blood glucose levels.

Summary: The study aimed to compare the acute effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) on neurocognitive performance and molecular biomarkers in late middle-aged and older adults. Results showed that both HIIT and MICE improved neurocognitive performance and increased peripheral BDNF levels, but had different effects on neurophysiology and irisin levels. Irisin may play a role in the cognitive performance of working memory in this population, but further research is needed to determine the mechanisms involved.

Summary: The study found that high intensity interval training (HIIT) can effectively reduce liver fat content in overweight and obese adults with metabolic disorders, even without weight loss. However, there is currently insufficient evidence to support the idea that HIIT has a significant effect on liver fat compared to moderate intensity interval training (MICT).

Summary: A scoping review was conducted to investigate the acute physiological response to HIFT-based exercise. The review found that markers of intensity were consistently assessed, supporting the idea that HIFT workouts are performed at high-intensity. However, the inclusion of other measures has been inconsistent, limiting the ability to draw generalized conclusions.

Summary: In untrained young males, high-intensity interval training protocols with different work-to-rest ratios significantly increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels, independent of exercise duration. Blood lactate levels correlate positively with changes in brain-derived neurotrophic factor, while serum cortisol levels show no correlation.
