High intensity interval training

The current case presents a male in his 40s without significant past medical, surgical, or family history. Hematochezia started immediately after one hour of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which included free-weight exercises and a circuit training instructional video. Relevant investigations included negative stool cultures and flexible sigmoidoscopy showing ischemic colitis in the mid-sigmoid. Histology also supported ischemic etiology, leading to the diagnosis of exercise-induced ischemic colitis (EIIC)...

BACKGROUND: High-intensity interval training (HIT) can provide physiologic benefits and may improve postoperative recovery but has not been evaluated in inpatients. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HIT after major surgery. METHODS: We performed a phase I randomized study comparing HIT with low-intensity continuous ambulation (40 m) during the initial inpatient stay after major surgery at a large academic center. Clinicopathologic and pre- and post-exercise physiologic data were captured...

In articles on the methodology of studies investigating affective and enjoyment responses to high-intensity interval training, we noted that, occasionally, exercise conditions described as involving "high" intensity exhibited heart rates that were only as high as, or even lower than, heart rates recorded during comparator conditions described as being of "moderate" intensity. Drs. Vollaard, Metcalfe, Kinghorn, Jung, and Little suggest instead that exercise intensity in high-intensity interval-training studies can be defined in terms of percentages of peak workload...

OBJECTIVE: We investigates the effects of 16-week high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training on the composition of the oral microbiota. To the best of our knowledge, at the time of writing this paper no other scholars had described the oral metagenomic changes associated with prescribed exercise in older adults. METHODS: Forty-three participants aged 60-74 years were randomized 1:1:1 to a control group, high-intensity interval training or moderate-intensity continuous training twice weekly for 16 weeks...

IMPORTANCE: Many patients with post-COVID condition (PCC) experience persistent fatigue, muscle pain, and cognitive problems that worsen after exertion (referred to as postexertional malaise). Recommendations currently advise against exercise in this population to prevent symptom worsening; however, prolonged inactivity is associated with risk of long-term health deterioration. OBJECTIVE: To assess postexertional symptoms in patients with PCC after exercise compared with control participants and to comprehensively investigate the physiologic mechanisms underlying PCC...

Hypertensive postmenopausal women are more likely to develop adverse cardiac remodelling and respond less effectively to drug treatment than men. High intensity interval exercise (HIIE) is a non-pharmacological strategy for the treatment of hypertension, however, the effectiveness in women remains uncertain. This study was designed to evaluate (1) effects of HIIE training upon morphological and functional markers of cardiovascular health in female SHR and (2) to determine whether the hormonal shift induced by ovariectomy could influence cardiovascular responses to HIIE...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Physical activity (PA) is often reduced in people with MS (pwMS), even when disability is low. Understanding the perspectives of pwMS on interventions aiming to improve PA is important to inform the development of such services. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of pwMS participating in an outdoor, high-intensity and balance exercise group intervention. METHODS: This qualitative study was nested within an RCT exploring a novel intervention integrating sensorimotor exercises with high-intensity intervals of running/walking...

Although evidence regarding the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on mental health has increased in recent years, there is still no consensus regarding the effects of HIIT on the symptoms of depression and anxiety in a healthy population. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to investigate the effects of HIIT on depressive and/or anxiety symptoms in healthy individuals. The following four databases were searched: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and PsycINFO. Only randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included...

BACKGROUND: Irisin, a myokine that is responsive to exercise, induces significant changes in subcutaneous adipose tissue. By promoting the browning of white fat tissue, it enhances energy expenditure, thereby addressing overweight and obesity. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effects of different types of physical exercises on irisin levels in overweight and obese adults. METHODS: Specifically, the review focused on studies involving obese or overweight individuals who participated in exercise training for a minimum of 8 weeks, with measured and reported changes in serum irisin levels compared to a control group...

INTRODUCTION: Although there is potential for the menstrual cycle to impact psychophysiological responses to exercise, there has been a paucity of studies investigating this aspect, specifically in the context of high-intensity interval training (HIIT). PURPOSE: This exploratory study aimed to examine the psychophysiological responses to HIIT over the menstrual cycle. METHODS: Twenty-three healthy and physically active young women were recruited...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Bariatric surgery is highly effective against obesity. Pre-surgical exercise programs are recommended to prepare the candidate physically and metabolically for surgery-related rapid weight loss. However, the ideal exercise prescription in this population is unknown. This study aimed to compare the metabolic effects of moderate-intensity constant (MICT) vs. a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program in candidates to undergo bariatric surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty-five candidates (22 women) to undergo sleeve gastrectomy aged from 18 to 60 years old were recruited...

BACKGROUND: Exercise training showed beneficial effects on brain. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effect of six weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and Endurance training (ET) with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist on the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial dynamics and apoptosis in hippocampal tissue of male Wistar rats. METHODS: In this study, forty-two healthymale Wistar rats (8-week) were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 7) as follow; 1) Control; 2) HIIT which performed 6 weeks of HIIT; 3) ET which performed 6 weeks of endurance training; 4) CGRPi received 10 mg/kg CGRP receptor antagonist every day at the last 2 weeks; 5) CGRPi-HIIT performed HIIT and received CGRP receptor antagonist; 6) CGRPi-ET performed ET and received CGRP receptor antagonist...

(1) Background: Years of research have identified ischemic preconditioning (IPC) as a crucial endogenous protective mechanism against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, enhancing the myocardial cell's tolerance to subsequent ischemic damage. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is promoted by athletes because it reduces exercise duration and improves metabolic response and cardiopulmonary function. Our objective was to evaluate and compare whether HIIT and IPC could reduce myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury in rats...

Browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) is a focus of research in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolism, which may be a potential molecular mechanism for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to improve T2DM. In this study, male C57BL/6J wild-type mice were subjected to an 8-week HIIT regimen following T2DM induction through a high-fat diet (HFD) combined with streptozotocin (STZ) injection. We found that HIIT improved glucose metabolism, body weight, and fat mass in T2DM mice. HIIT also decreased adipocyte size and induced browning of WAT...

BACKGROUND: The screening process for systematic reviews and meta-analyses in medical research is a labor-intensive and time-consuming task. While machine learning and deep learning have been applied to facilitate this process, these methods often require training data and user annotation. This study aims to assess the efficacy of ChatGPT, a large language model based on the Generative Pretrained Transformers (GPT) architecture, in automating the screening process for systematic reviews in radiology without the need for training data...
