“…When the HIIT group was considered separately, however, our stratified analysis failed to detect a HIIT‐induced effect on abdominal FM loss in postmenopausal women. Another study performed by our laboratory also showed that a 12‐week HIIT programme (60 × 8 s at 80–90% of peak heart rate, 12 s active recovery) performed three times a week in 10 postmenopausal women resulted in a significant decrease in total (−3.06% ± 4.2) and abdominal (−7.4% ± 2.8) FM (Dupuit et al., 2020). Thus, a larger sample of postmenopausal women would have been probably necessary to reach a significant threshold in this meta‐analysis and more data would be needed to establish whether oestrogen deficiency requires a greater total amount of interval training to achieve a comparable remodelling of body composition.…”

New Findings What is the topic of this review?A meta‐analysis of the efficacy of high intensity interval training (HIIT) in reducing weight, total fat mass (FM) and (intra)‐abdominal FM in normal‐weight and overweight/obese women before and after menopause. What advances does it highlight?HIIT programmes in women significantly decrease body weight and total and abdominal FM. Their effects are more evident in pre‐ than in postmenopausal women. Cycling HIIT seems more effective than running, especially in postmenopausal women, and training interventions longer than 8 weeks comprising three sessions a week should be promoted. Abstract High‐intensity interval training (HIIT) is a stimulating modality for reducing body weight and adipose tissue. The purpose of this meta‐analysis was to assess the efficacy of HIIT in reducing weight, total fat mass (FM) and (intra)‐abdominal FM in normal‐weight and overweight/obese women before and after menopause. A structured electronic search was performed to find all publications relevant to our review. Stratified analyses were made of hormonal status (pre‐ vs. postmenopausal state), weight, HIIT modalities (cycling vs. running), programme duration (< or ≥8 weeks) and the methods used to measure body composition (dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry vs. computed tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and others). A total of 38 studies involving 959 subjects were included. Our meta‐analysis showed that overall HIIT programmes significantly decrease weight, total and abdominal FM in women. Both normal weight and overweight/obese women lost total FM after HIIT protocols whereas HIIT was only effective in decreasing abdominal FM in women with excess adiposity. When pre‐ and postmenopausal women were considered separately, the effect of HIIT on weight, total and abdominal FM were only significant before menopause. Cycling HIIT seemed more effective than running, especially in postmenopausal women, and training interventions longer than 8 weeks comprising three sessions were more efficient. HIIT is a successful strategy to lose weight and FM in normal weight and overweight/obese women. However, further studies are still needed to draw meaningful conclusions about the real effectiveness of HIIT protocols in postmenopausal women.

“…Our group already demonstrated that HIIT is a time-efficient and safe exercise modality for loosing total and (intra-) abdominal fat mass in post-menopausal women. [10][11][12] However, the mechanisms leading to a greater fat mass loss in HIIT vs MICT are still unclear. HIIE stimulates catecholamine production leading to lipolysis and higher post-exercise free fatty acid availability.…”

“…The first one [60 × (8-s cycling − 12-s recovery) at 80%-90% HR max ] has been extensively tested by our group and by others in pre-and post-menopausal women. [10][11][12]25 The second one [10 × 1 minutes at 80%-90% HR max − 1-min recovery] is regularly used in different population types (ie, normal weight, overweight, obese people, young or older, trained, or untrained subjects). [26][27][28] We hypothesized that for the same exercise duration, the longer active phase of HIIE (10 minutes for HIIE 2 vs 8 minutes for HIIE 1) could induce greater post-exercise VO 2 uptake and/or fat utilization.…”

“…The three modalities were as follows: HIIE 1: This modality was based on the protocol described by Dupuit et al 10 and consisted of 60 cycles of sprinting/speeding for 8 s followed by slow pedaling (20-30 rpm) for 12 s. Resistance was very low to facilitate acceleration and limit the bicycle-wheel inertia. Resistance was set to reach 80%-90% of the subjects' maximal heart rate (HR max ) during the active phase.…”

“…Currently, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which includes repeated bouts of high-intensity effort followed by varied recovery times, is considered a time-efficient and safe strategy to reduce total fat mass, and particularly abdominal/visceral fat mass, 9 also in post-menopausal women. [10][11][12] Although studies are still required to determine the best HIIT protocols for fat mass reduction in function of the subject's characteristics, meta-analyses suggest that despite the higher rate of perceived exertion during exercise, HIIT is more enjoyable that MICT and this could favor better adherence. 13 However, this conclusion has not been validated in post-menopausal women in whom breath shortness, leg pain, and perhaps fatigue during HIIT could make this modality less tolerable.…”

Menopause is associated with body fat distribution changes, leading to abdominal fat mass accumulation, which partly explains the higher incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes in this population. 1 Moreover, menopause is also related to a lower resting metabolic rate (RMR), a decrease of total energy expenditure, and a reduction of fat oxidation during moderate-intensity prolonged exercise. 2,3 These adaptations are partly explained by the loss of fat-free mass with age and the gradual decrease of estrogen concentration. 2,3 As estrogen deficiency also stimulates appetite, 4 menopause favors

This study investigated the use of intravoxel incoherent motion imaging (IVIM) to compare skeletal muscle perfusion during and after high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate‐intensity continuous training (MICT) to determine the impact on fat oxidation outcomes. Twenty overweight volunteers were recruited for the study. Each participant received one HIIT intervention and one MICT intervention using a cycling ergometer. Participants underwent a magnetic resonance imaging scan before, immediately after, and 1 and 2 h after each intervention. The IVIM parameters (D, fD*) of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and biceps femoris long head were obtained. Changes in IVIM parameters of these muscles after both exercise interventions were compared using a two‐factor repeated measures analysis of variance. In the rectus femoris, the fD* increased immediately after exercise intervention (d = 0.69 × 10−3 mm2/s, p < 0.0083) and 2 h after exercise intervention (d = 0.64 × 10−3 mm2/s, p < 0.0083) compared with before exercise. The increase in the fD* in the HIIT group was greater than that in the MICT group (d = 0.32, p = 0.023). In the vastus lateralis, the fD* increased immediately after the exercise intervention (d = 0.53 × 10−3 mm2/s, p < 0.001) and returned to the pre‐exercise level 1 h after exercising. The increase in the fD* in the HIIT group was lower than that in the MICT group (d = −0.21, p = 0.015). For the biceps femoris long head, the fD* was not significantly different between the two exercise interventions before and after exercise. Furthermore, the fD* 60 min after the HIIT intervention correlated with maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), whereas fD* immediately after the MICT intervention correlated with VO2max. In summary, IVIM parameters can be used to evaluate differences in muscle perfusion between HIIT and MICT, and show a correlation with VO2max.
