Abstract in brief

  • This study compared the effects of 3 months of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on obese adults, focusing on changes in body fat, physical capacity, fat burning, and mitochondrial function, with a 4-month follow-up period.
  • Both training methods reduced body mass and fat mass and increased VO2 peak (a measure of aerobic fitness), but only HIIT led to a significant boost in maximal fat oxidation rates, and after 4 months, improvements in VO2 peak and fat oxidation were better maintained in the HIIT group.
  • The findings suggest that HIIT is more effective than MICT for improving and sustaining aerobic fitness and fat-burning ability in obese adults, which could help in designing better exercise programs for weight management and health improvement.]
