Reduced-exertion high-intensity interval training (REHIT) provides limited improvement in post-prandial and 24-hour glycemia in healthy, physically active men
Key Points
REHIT resulted in transient reductions in post-prandial glucose levels, but no significant long-term control.
Notably, there was no clinically meaningful reduction found in 3-hour or 24-hour glucose measurements.
This assessment was conducted in healthy, physically active middle-aged men, revealing limited efficacy.
Findings highlight the need for further investigation into the long-term impacts and mechanisms of REHIT.
Abstract
While REHIT led to transient reductions in post-prandial glucose in active middle-aged men, there was no clinically meaningful reduction in 3h post-prandial or 24h glucose control.
