“…However, various highintensity interval training protocols could differently affect blood LA synthesis (Wood et al, 2016;Warr-di Piero et al, 2018). SIE is characterized by high LA production whereas longer protocols could rely more on aerobic metabolism, with lower LA synthesis (Astorino and Sheard, 2019). Therefore, interval training protocols could differently modulate the central nervous system activation and cognitive performance.…”

“…However, these recommended aerobic exercise regimens require people to make a considerable time commitment, which is known as a limiting factor of physical activity in the modern era (Gibala and Little, 2010). Recently, high-intensity interval training (HIT) has become very popular among people as a timeefficient exercise regime (Gibala and Little, 2010;Astorino and Sheard, 2019). In addition, recent evidence suggests that HIT is more enjoyable than moderate-intensity endurance exercise (Bartlett et al, 2011;Little et al, 2011a).…”

“…Olney et al (2018) suggested that females reported higher HIIE enjoyment than males. Others found no sex differences for enjoyment or RPE, except that positive affect was higher among females compared with males (Astorino & Sheard, 2019). Findings from both Olney et al (2018) and Astorino and Sheard (2019) suggest that males and females might perceive exercise bouts differently, depending on methodological (i.e., psychological measure used) and structural (i.e., type of HIIE) differences in research procedures.…”

Biological sex differences also contribute to psychological response variance in that males have been found to fatigue differently than females (i.e., higher glycolytic activation in males vs. females, and higher oxidative system activation in females compared with males during the same HIIE type).…”

Positive Affective and Enjoyment Responses to Four High-Intensity Interval Exercise Protocols

Several variables can be manipulated to compose high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) protocols, and these different combinations may evoke different psychological responses (affect, enjoyment, mood, and perceived exertion). This study investigated psychological responses during four HIIE protocols. Following anthropometric measurements and two maximal exercise tests, 23 physically inactive adults (11 males [ Mage = 25.6, SD = 4.8 years; Mbody mass = 68.5, SD = 12.2 kg; Mheight = 1.72, SD = 0.08 m] and 12 females [ Mage = 25.0, SD = 3.5 years; Mbody mass = 57.2, SD = 8.7 kg; Mheight = 1.59, SD = 0.06 m]) performed four different types of HIIE on different days: (a) Long-interval HIIE (HIIEL—10 × 60 seconds:60 seconds), (b) Short-interval HIIE (HIIES—2 blocks of 10 × 30 seconds:30 seconds with 120 seconds between blocks), (c) Repeated Sprint Training (19 × 6 seconds all out:40 seconds), and (d) Sprint Interval Training (4 × 30 seconds all-out efforts: 240 seconds). We used a final session to assess participants’ HIIE preference. We recorded participant reports of affect, mood, and perceived exertion throughout protocols, and we recorded enjoyment after exercise session. Perceived exertion significantly increased across all HIIE protocols ( p < .001), with higher values in the first quartile during Sprint Interval Training versus HIIEL ( p = .033). Affective response presented higher values pre-exercise and at the first quartile compared with all other moments ( p < .001). Tension ( p < .001) and depression ( p = .013) decreased from pre- to post-exercise in all experimental conditions. At pre-exercise, female participants were tenser than males ( p = .018), though males presented higher pre-exercise vigor scores than females ( p = .023). Vigor increased over time for females ( p = .022). Enjoyment did not vary between sexes or protocols. Participants expressed a higher preference for Repeated Sprint Training. HIIE protocols promoted positive psychological responses for physically inactive young adults, and exercise designs may modulate psychological responses.

“…It is apparent that muscle fiber type may differ between men and women [19], leading to greater reliance on glycolysis and resultant blood lactate accumulation in men who have a greater proportion of higher threshold motor units. Moreover, men exhibit higher BLa in response to HIIT and sprint interval training (SIT) versus women, which may be due to the greater work completed during training due to a propensity to maintain a higher cadence, especially during SIT [20]. Second, HIIT was performed at an intensity equal to 90% PPO, whereas, in the former study, training was performed at 65% PPO.…”

Background: There is individual responsiveness to exercise training as not all individuals experience increases in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), which does not benefit health status considering the association between VO2max and mortality. Approximately 50% of the training response is genetic, with the other 50% accounted for by variations in dietary intake, sleep, recovery, and the metabolic stress of training. This study examined if the blood lactate (BLa) response to high intensity interval training (HIIT) as well as habitual dietary intake and sleep duration are associated with the resultant change in VO2max (ΔVO2max). Methods: Fourteen individuals (age and VO2max = 27 ± 8 years and 38 ± 4 mL/kg/min, respectively) performed nine sessions of HIIT at 130% ventilatory threshold. BLa was measured during the first and last session of training. In addition, sleep duration and energy intake were assessed. Results: Data showed that VO2max increased with HIIT (p = 0.007). No associations occurred between ΔVO2max and BLa (r = 0.44, p = 0.10), energy intake (r = 0.38, p = 0.18), or sleep duration (r = 0.14, p = 0.62). However, there was a significant association between training heart rate (HR) and ΔVO2max (r = 0.62, p = 0.02). Conclusions: When HIIT is prescribed according to a metabolic threshold, energy intake, sleep status, and BLa do not predict ΔVO2max, yet the HR response to training is associated with the ΔVO2max.
