Effects of 12-Week Concurrent High-Intensity Interval Strength and Endurance Training Program on Physical Performance in Healthy Older People

Abstract: This study aimed to analyse the effect of 12-week low-volume HIIT-based concurrent training programme on body composition, upper- and lower-body muscle strength, mobility and balance in older adults, as well as to compare it with a low- moderate-intensity continuous training. 90 active older adults were randomly assigned to experimental (EG, n=47), and control (CG, n=43) groups. Body composition and physical functioning were assessed before (pre-test) and after (post-test) a 12-week intervention. A 2-way repea… Show more

“…In this regard, some studies [37] have also refuted that the practice of low physical activity is ineffective for the functional improvement of older adults. These results have also been supported by other researchers [38] who obtained greater improvements in a HIIT-(High Intensity Interval Training) trained group than a group treated through regular low intensity continuous training.…”

“…The number of articles focused on HIIT in older adults has increased in recent years. Regarding body composition and anthropometric parameters, a study by Garcia Pinillos et al [15] found significant differences in body composition for older people ( − 2.15 % body mass, − 4.20 % fat mass, + 6.23 % muscle mass) after a 12-week low-volume HIIT-based concurrent training programme. However Ramirez et al [50], in a study with the same intensity of HIIT and the same duration of intervention did not find significant improvements in waist and hip circumference in adults with metabolic syndrome and Bartlett et al [5], in a recent study involving elderly people over 64 years, described no significant improvement in fat percentage after 10 weeks of HIIT intervention.…”

“…Nevertheless, a systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2018 concluded that there were no evidence supporting important differences in health-related quality of life in heart failure patients with reduced ejection [17]. Benefits in physical functioning have been also described after HIIT training in healthy older adults [15].…”

“…This has contributed to a systematic increase in the amount of research concerning health-related effects of various physical training interventions in middle-aged and older people. [18][19][20][21] Physical activity can prevent and reduce the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders in populations of all ages. [22][23][24][25] However, this is especially important in professionally active workers, as musculoskeletal pain can be the factor that reduces the ability and capacity to work.…”
