    On comparing the change in body weight and BMI over 8 weeks, no significant difference was found between the HIIT and MICT groups. However, HIIT was notably more time efficient. https://t.co/noDSLfL19y

Abstract Synopsis

  • This review compares the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on fat loss and cardiovascular fitness in young and middle-aged adults, finding that HIIT often provides equal or better benefits.
  • Both training types significantly improve body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness, except for fat-free mass, with HIIT showing particular advantages in waist circumference, percent fat mass, and VO2.
  • While the improvements are generally modest, HIIT is considered more time-efficient and enjoyable than MICT, making it a promising option for those seeking effective exercise routines.
