Abstract:Recently, several studies have examined whether low-volume sprint interval training (SIT) may improve aerobic and metabolic function. The objective of this study was to systematically review the existing literature regarding the aerobic and metabolic effects of SIT in healthy sedentary or recreationally active adults. A systematic literature search was performed (Bibliotek.dk, SPORTDiscus, Embase, PEDro, SveMed+, and Pubmed). Meta-analytical procedures were applied evaluating effects on maximal oxygen consumpt… Show more

“…Gist et al [19] reported a moderate effect (0.69) of sprint interval training (SIT) -classified as form of HIT at the highest end of the intensity spectrum [20] -on VO2max in comparison with no exercise control groups; yet a trivial effect (0.04) when compared with endurance training controls. However, this meta-analysis [19], as well as the recent meta-analyses performed by Weston et al [21] and Sloth et al [20], only addressed the effect of SIT on VO2max. In doing so, these reviews excluded HIT research utilizing longer interval durations and shorter recovery periods.…”

Key points When compared to no exercise, endurance training and high-intensity interval training elicit large improvements in maximal oxygen uptake. Endurance training and high-intensity interval training elicit additional benefit for individuals with lower pre-training fitness. In healthy, young to middle-aged adults, high-intensity interval training improves maximal oxygen uptake to a greater extent than traditional endurance training.

AbstractBackground Enhancing cardiovascular fitness can lead to substantial health benefits. Highintensity interval training (HIT) is an efficient way to develop cardiovascular fitness, yet comparisons between this type of training with traditional endurance training are equivocal.Objective Our objective was to meta-analyse the effects of endurance training and HIT on the maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) of healthy, young to middle-aged adults.Methods Six electronic databases were searched (MEDLINE, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, CINAHL and Google Scholar) for original research articles. A search was conducted and search terms included 'high intensity', 'HIT', 'sprint interval training', 'endurance training', 'peak oxygen uptake', 'VO2max'. Inclusion criteria were controlled trials, healthy adults aged 18-45 y, training duration ≥2 weeks, VO2max assessed pre-and post-training. Twenty-eight studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. This resulted in 723 participants with a mean ± SD age and initial fitness of 25.1 ± 5 y and 40.8 ± 7.9 mL•kg -1 •min -1 , respectively. We made probabilistic magnitude-based inferences for meta-analysed effects based on standardized thresholds for small, moderate and large changes (0.2, 0.6 and 1.2, respectively) derived from between-subject standard deviations (SDs) for baseline VO2max.
ResultsThe meta-analysed effect of endurance training on VO2max was a possibly large beneficial effect (4.9 mL Conclusion Endurance training and HIT both elicit large improvements in the VO2max of healthy, young to middle-aged adults with the gains in VO2max being greater following HIT, when compared to endurance training.

“…HIIT has long been used in the athletic setting as a means of enhancing physical performance, [41][42][43][44][45][46] but only more recently in the clinical context for the prevention and management of chronic disease. Thus, the utility of HIIT, relative to MICT, in ameliorating the specific symptoms and adverse effects of those at risk of or afflicted with CVD is not well understood.…”
“…Recently, high intensity interval training (HIIT) has become popular due to provide rapid aerobic improvements in endurance athletes [16,17]. Also it is well known that these types of aerobic trainings improve performance in well-trained endurance athletes [15,16]. Traditionally, endurance athletes have trained according to approach of high volumes at low intensity and moderate volume at high intensity.…”

ABSTRACT:The purpose of this study was to investigate the 8-week of roller-ski aerobic highintensity interval training on aerobic and anaerobic power in cross-country skiers. 10 male (age, 18.3±2.1 years; height, 171.3±4.12 cm; weight, 61.4±6.28 kg) and 8 female (age, 16.1±0.3 years; height, 158.3±6.47 cm; weight, 49.3±0.7 kg) junior cross-country skiers completed the study. All skiers performed 2x2-km all-out uphill intervals with roller-skis, 3 times a week, in addition to their traditional training program. Measurements included maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), anaerobic power, and also for 2-km time-trial performance. All values were listed as pre-to post-test mean (±SD), significant level, and percentage changes (%). Pre-to post-testing changes in VO2max, anaerobic power, and also 2-km time-trial performance were significantly higher during all post-test trials in all groups (p<0.005). As a result, we suggest that the skiers should integrate the roller-ski aerobic high-intensity interval uphill models in their training programs for improving performance.
