High-intensity interval training effectively reduces cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese individuals, showing a preliminary dose-response relationship.
Does High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) reduce cardiometabolic risk in individuals with overweight and obesity?
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) effectively improves cardiometabolic risk factors, including cardiorespiratory fitness and lipid metabolism, in individuals with overweight and obesity, demonstrating a preliminary dose-response relationship.
HIIT is an effective strategy to reduce cardiometabolic risk (CRF, lipid metabolism) in individuals with overweight and obesity, with a preliminary dose-response relationship observed between training variables and outcomes. Future studies should optimize protocols and confirm sustained benefits.
