Detraining Effect of Short-term HIIT on Cardiometabolic Risk in Young Adults With Obesity
Syracuse University
Summary
The primary aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effects of three different HIIT protocols and a control group on cardiometabolic health in young adults with obesity. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following three groups, with each having varying work-to-rest ratios: 1) HIIT-A, 2) HIIT-B, 3) HIIT-C, and 4) control group. HIIT-A, HIIT-B, and HIIT-C groups will participate in six sessions of a running based HIIT program over a 2-week training period. Pre-clinical markers of cardiovascular disease, blood lipids and fasting glucose will be measured at the following three time points: baseline, post-intervention, and 2 weeks after the training cessation (i.e., measure for detraining effect). All measurements will be performed three days before the training program and three days after the intervention to avoid the effect of the last training session. Afterwards, the detraining test will be measured 2 weeks post intervention.
Description
Introduction: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) compared with other traditional exercise regimens has shown to be effective in improving cardiometabolic health (as measured by lipids, blood pressure \[BP\], insulin sensitivity, pulse wave velocity) in overweight and obese adults. By knowing which HIIT protocol is more efficacious in improving markers of cardiometabolic disease, exercise physiologists, researchers and clinicians can properly prescribe exercise medicine to obese young adults and possibly prevent disease progression. Therefore, the primary aim of the present research is to…
