High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is characterised by short bouts of high-intensity submaximal exercise interspersed with rest periods. Low-volume HIIT, typically involving less than 15 min of high-intensity exercise per session, is being increasingly investigated in healthy and clinical populations due to its time-efficient nature and purported health benefits. The findings from recent trials suggest that low-volume HIIT can induce similar, and at times greater, improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, glucose control, blood pressure, and cardiac function Angelo Sabag is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Western Sydney University. In 2019, Angelo completed his PhD under the supervision of Associate Professor Nathan Johnson, where he explored the efficacy of novel exercise therapies, such as low-volume high intensity interval training, for the management of cardiometabolic health in adults with type 2 diabetes. Nathan Johnson is an Associate Professor in Exercise Physiology at the University of Sydney. His research focuses on the interaction between physical activity and fat metabolism in health and disease and aims to find practical solutions and innovative approaches, particularly exercise, for managing dangerous body fats and cardiometabolic health without weight loss.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
