This study examined the acute effect of sprint interval exercise (SIE) on postexercise oxygen consumption, substrate oxidation, and blood pressure. The participants were 10 healthy males aged 21-27 years. Following overnight fasts, each participant undertook 2 trials in a random balanced order: (i) four 30-s bouts of SIE on a cycle ergometer, separated by 4.5 min of recovery, and (ii) resting (control) in the laboratory for an equivalent period. Time-matched measurements of oxygen consumption, respiratory exchange ratio, and blood pressure were made for 2 h into recovery. Total 2-h oxygen consumption was significantly higher in the SIE than in the control trial (mean +/- SD: Control: 31.9 +/- 6.7 L vs Exercise: 45.5 +/- 6.8 L, p < 0.001). The rate of fat oxidation was 75% higher 2 h after the exercise trial compared with the control trial (Control: 0.08 +/- 0.05 g.min(-1) vs Exercise: 0.14 +/- 0.06 g.min(-1), p = 0.035). Systolic blood pressure (Control: 117 +/- 8 mmHg vs Exercise: 109 +/- 8 mmHg, p < 0.05) and diastolic blood pressure (Control: 84 +/- 6 mm Hg vs Exercise: 77 +/- 5 mm Hg, p < 0.05) were significantly lower 2 h after the exercise trial compared with the control trial. These data showed a 42% increase in oxygen consumption (similar to 13.6 L) over 2 h after a single bout of SIE. Moreover, the rate of fat oxidation increased by 75%, whereas blood pressure was reduced by similar to 8 mm Hg 2 h after SIE. Whether these acute benefits of SIE can translate into long-term changes in body composition and an improvement in vascular health needs investigation.
