Does interval treadmill training compared to continuous training alter respiratory and locomotory muscle adaptations in male Wistar rats?
In a rat model, interval aerobic training leads to myocardial hypertrophy and elevated testosterone compared to continuous training, suggesting distinct anabolic and hemodynamic benefits.
Borzykh et al. (2012) studied this question.
