Why the study?
Most studies examining children's responses to high-intensity interval exercise have used running, which does not include other important aspects of physical activity such as muscular fitness.
Does a body weight resistance exercise circuit elicit similar acute cardiometabolic and perceptual responses compared to treadmill-based high-intensity interval exercise in boys?
Does a body weight resistance exercise circuit elicit similar acute cardiometabolic and perceptual responses compared to treadmill-based high-intensity interval exercise in boys?
A body-weight resistance circuit elicits near-maximal heart rate responses comparable to treadmill running, suggesting it is a viable alternative modality for high-intensity interval exercise in boys.

Body-weight circuits elicit near-maximal HR in boys with similar perceptual responses to treadmill HIIT; leaves open whether they extend benefits for muscular fitness or cardiometabolic outcomes.
