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: The study compared the impact of short-term high intensity interval training (HIIT) and traditional moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) on adolescent soccer players, finding that HIIT effectively improved cardiorespiratory fitness and anaerobic power while MICT improved muscle endurance. Both training methods have their own benefits and could be considered in a time-efficient training strategy.

Summary: This meta-analysis suggests that HIIT is safer and more effective than MICT in improving cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with CVD. Medium-interval HIIT performed three times a week for over 12 weeks showed the most significant improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness.

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: Recent studies have shown that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) both lead to reductions in liver fat content, with HIIT demonstrating comparable improvements to MICT despite requiring less energy and time commitment. Further research is needed to determine the relative importance of aerobic exercise prescription variables, such as intensity, on liver fat.

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: 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: This study aimed to assess the effect of active and passive intra-interval recovery modes in time-efficient high-intensity interval training (HIT) on cardiorespiratory fitness, autonomic function, and endothelial function in sedentary middle-aged men. The results showed that HIT significantly improved cardiorespiratory fitness, endothelial function, and autonomic regulation after a 12-week exercise intervention. There was no additional benefit of active recovery compared to passive recovery in this sedentary cohort.

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: This study examined the relationships between physical activity intensity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and executive function in adult office workers. The results showed that executive function in adults was associated with both higher physical activity intensities and cardiorespiratory fitness. However, the association varied across different levels of fitness.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of positive effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on body composition, cardiovascular parameters, and cardiorespiratory fitness among adolescents. The results indicate that HIIT has positive effects on SBP, DBP, and FI, especially among boys with low BMI. The study also revealed relationships between FI and BFP and BP parameters.

Summary: The goal of this study was to compare the performance of pulmonary function tests (PFT) and cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) between COVID-19 survivors and a control group. The results showed that COVID-19 survivors had lower peak workload, oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide output, circulatory power, and end-tidal pressure for carbon dioxide during CPET. Furthermore, they exhibited reduced chronotropic and ventilatory responses, lower peak oxygen saturation, and greater muscle fatigue. This suggests that adult survivors experience losses in lung function and cardiorespiratory capacity one month after recovering from COVID-19, with cardiovascular, ventilatory, and lower limb fatigue responses being the main exercise limitations.

Summary: This study compared the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on breast cancer patients during adjuvant endocrine therapy. The results showed that HIIT can safely and effectively improve cardiovascular health and enhance quality of life in breast cancer patients.

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: The study showed that both 8 weeks of moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) and high intensity interval training (HIIT) can significantly improve cognitive function and BDNF levels in middle-aged overweight men, with no significant differences in cognitive function between MICT and HIIT.
