The effects of short-term high-intensity interval training vs. moderate-intensity continuous training on plasma levels of nesfatin-1 and inflammatory markers

Abstract

Both the HIIT and MCT groups had similar effects on inflammatory markers and insulin resistance in men who are overweight, but the HIIT seems to have better anorectic effects (as indicated by nesfatin) compared with MCT.

Effects of endurance training and herb supplementation on tissue nesfatin-1/nucleobindin-2 and ghrelin mRNA expression

“…Our data are consistent with those studies who's investigated the effects of different mode acute/ chronic exercise training on plasma nesfatin-1 in human and animal subjects [69][70][71][72]. In our study, we observed a lower ghrelin mRNA expression in both saline and Bane-trained liver, not in visceral fat tissue.…”

The effects of high‐intensity interval training vs. moderate‐intensity continuous training on body composition in overweight and obese adults: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…Interventions were conducted for 10.4 ± 3.1 weeks (range 5-16 weeks), and the mode of exercise was matched for HIIT and MICT interventions in all studies. Cycle ergometer was the most common modality (seven studies (24,25,27,30,32,34,35)), followed by treadmill running (six studies (23,26,28,29,31,33)).…”

“…All data for whole-body fat levels (N = 11 studies) were drawn from studies applying either DXA (seven studies (24,25,28,31,32,34,35)) or BIA (four studies (23,26,30,33)). Six studies reported whole-body lean mass (four studies using DXA (27,28,34,35) and two studies using BIA (26,30)), four studies reported trunk fat values (three studies using DXA (25,27,35) and one using BIA (30)) and one CT study provided visceral fat as a measure (33).…”

“…Despite clear evidence for the positive adaptations following HIIT compared with MICT with regard to aerobic fitness and vascular function, it is still unclear which form of training is most effective for weight control, overall fat loss or central adiposity. Recent studies have analysed the comparative effectiveness of HIIT and MICT on body fat loss in overweight populations with varying findings (23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35), but a systematic review is yet to be conducted. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the effectiveness of HIIT and MICT on body weight and body composition outcomes in healthy but overweight or obese adults.…”

High-Intensity Interval Training Beneficial Effects in Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice: Adipose Tissue, Liver Structure, and Pancreatic Islets

“…This type of training improves physical condition and capacity, fostering an improvement in glucose metabolism and burning fat reserves (Motta et al, 2015;Smith-Ryan et al, 2015). Both the HIIT and moderate-intensity continuous exercise training (MICT) led to similar effects on inflammatory markers (nesfatin-1, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha), and insulin resistance in men who are overweight, but the HIIT seems to have better anorectic effects (as indicated by nesfatin) compared with MICT (Ahmadizad et al, 2015). HIIT significantly increases cardiorespiratory fitness by almost double that of MICT in patients with lifestyle-induced chronic diseases (Weston et al, 2014).…”
