One session of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) every 5 days, improves muscle power but not static balance in lifelong sedentary ageing men

Abstract: Background:Declining muscle power during advancing age predicts falls and loss of independence. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) may improve muscle power, but remains largely unstudied in ageing participants.Methods:This randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigated the efficacy of a low-frequency HIIT (LfHIIT) intervention on peak muscle power (peak power output [PPO]), body composition, and balance in lifelong sedentary but otherwise healthy males.Methods:Thirty-three lifelong sedentary ageing men we… Show more

“…The present study shows that HIIT training in obese older adults induces a decrease in waist and hip circumferences and improve functional capacities in both P20− and P20+ groups. Our results, therefore, strengthen the available literature showing that HIIT effectively improves overall muscle function and functional capacities in non-obese older adults [30,70]. Our results are also consistent with a recent meta-analysis suggesting that HIIT is an effective way to improve VO 2max and cardiometabolic risk factors (i.e., waist circumference) in adults [29].…”

“…Because older adults report lack of time for physical activity, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been highlighted as a promising aerobic intervention in elderly population due to its short duration. More importantly, it has been observed that HIIT improved body composition (total or appendicular fat and lean masses), muscle function (muscle mass and power), aerobic capacities (VO 2max ) or reduced cardiometabolic risk factors (waist circumference, waist-hip circumference ratio, diastolic blood pressure and fasting glucose levels) in older adults [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Finally, HIIT elicited similar or higher enjoyment and adherence levels than moderate-intensity continuous training [34,35].…”

“…After the adaptation phase, were performed three sets of 10-15 repetitions in the initial six weeks, with an approximate intensity of 40-50% of the SPE scale (score between 9-11). In the following six weeks the three sets of 6-10 repetitions were maintained, increasing the intensity to 60-70% of the scale (score between [12][13][14]. The interval between the series was of 90 seconds, and the load adjusted weekly, from the scale of subjective perception of effort (SPE) (Row, Knutzen and Skogsberg; 2012).…”

“…Also, there is evidence on the association between low muscle power and the presence of falls (6,11) , and positive interactions between PT training and the functionality of the elderly (12,13) , and these findings were not unanimous (14,15) . Despite the undoubted relevance of these health parameters, it is believed that at this stage of life individual health perceptions should be considered, supported by the theory that objective measures of physiological and functional anatomical parameters do not always coincide with the elderly's understanding of their condition (16,17) .…”
