Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training on Obese College Students

Abstract

Introduction: Sports are a great promoter of health and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), as an aerobic activity, has great potential to promote lipid improvement in obese college students. Objective: This study aimed to develop research on HIIT-based protocols controlling body mass index and blood pressure in obese college students. Methods: Compared with traditional medium-intensity continuous training (MCT), the focus of the research has the characteristics of a relatively short time, fast effect, and high interest among participating volunteers. Results: Many studies have suggested that this program effectively controls weight and blood pressure in obese college students. Some studies have even proven that its effect is better than that of MCT. Conclusion: The long-term effect of HIIT requires further research to be verified, and its standardization and safety also need further scientific support. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
