Key result
Low-volume high-intensity interval training induces similar or greater improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, glucose control, and blood pressure compared to traditional aerobic exercise.
Why the study?
Low-volume HIIT is being increasingly investigated in healthy and clinical populations due to its time-efficient nature and purported health benefits.
Does low-volume high-intensity interval training improve cardiometabolic health in healthy and clinical populations compared to traditional aerobic exercise?
Does low-volume high-intensity interval training improve cardiometabolic health in healthy and clinical populations compared to traditional aerobic exercise?
Low-volume HIIT offers a time-efficient, safe, and effective alternative to traditional aerobic exercise for improving cardiometabolic health.

May support time-efficient exercise options; leaves open need for RCTs before changing practice.
A 2021 study conducted a review in Cardiometabolic health. Low-volume high-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs. High-volume HIIT and moderate intensity continuous training was evaluated. Low-volume high-intensity interval training induces similar or greater improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, glucose control, and blood pressure compared to traditional aerobic exercise.
