A Comparison of High-intensity Interval Training Protocols on Health and Fitness
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Healthy
In brief
Recently, it has been demonstrated that multimodal high-intensity interval training (MM-HIIT) (utilizing resistance-based and functional movements) can produce similar aerobic adaptations compared to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) using rowing but with greater muscle performance in females. In addition, HIIT has been shown to be more enjoyable than continuous training, and this may lead to enhanced self-efficacy and increased physical activity. To the investigators' knowledge, however, the cardiometabolic effects (blood pressure, abdominal/visceral fat, blood sugar, blood lipids/fats) of MM-HIIT have not been reported. The investigators aim to compare MM-HIIT with HIIT using a traditional aerobic fitness exercise (rowing) for the degree of cardiometabolic, physical performance (strength, endurance, power), and psychosocial (self-efficacy and enjoyment) adaptations. They will also determined sustained effects of the intervention by completing a 9-month follow-up.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older, up to 40. Sex: female. Healthy volunteers: accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Potential participants will be non-obese (waist circumference ≤ 88 cm) recreationally active females aged 18 - 40 years who do not engage in a regular training program. Recreationally active is defined as periodically participating in physical activity or exercise between 1 - 3 hours a week for at least a month, but not involved in a systematic endurance or weight training activity.
You may not qualify if…
- Potential participants will be excluded if they have a history of exercise-limiting cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, or musculoskeletal illness/injury or if they are currently taking medication that would alter the physiological responses to exercise. They will also be excluded if they are pregnant or have a history of fainting while giving blood.
