Filter by:Hypoxic exposure increases right ventricular (RV) afterload by triggering pulmonary hypertension, with consequent effects on the structure and function of the RV. Improved myocardial contractility is a critical circulatory adaptation to exercise training. However, the types of exercise that enhance right cardiac mechanics during hypoxic stress have not yet been identified. This study investigated how high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) influence right cardiac mechanics during hypoxic exercise (HE).
REmotely Monitored, Mobile Health-Supported High Intensity Interval Training after COVID-19 critical illness (REMM-HIIT-COVID-19)
This is a research study about how short-term exercise intervention affects adolescents with a disease called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Cycling and running-based high-intensity interval training are well-established to improve a variety of health outcomes. However, the efficacy of upper-body high-intensity interval training, vital for individuals with lower-body impairments, has yet to be well-characterized. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of a single bout of upper-body high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) in comparison to traditional moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) on the blood response (e.g. glucose, insulin, fats) following a meal. This study is recruiting able-bodied adults (aged 18-65 years). Participants will need to attend the laboratory at the University of Bath for two preliminary sessions, and three main study trials.
The purpose of this study is to compare the cognitive performance following the ingestion of carbohydrate solutions containing either maple syrup, maple sap, corn syrup, a commercial sport drink or water.
The aim of this randomized cross-over controlled study was to assess the effects of an 4-week exercise program on the recovery capacity after a voluntary maximal apnea. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either a high intensity interval training (HIIT), or an inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using an inspiratory resistance device.
Consumptive coagulopathy is associated with increased mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). Physical activity influences the risk of major vascular thrombotic events. This study investigates how high-intensity interval training (HIIT) affects the capacity of endogenous thrombin generation (TG) by modulating circulatory procoagulant microparticles (MPs) in HF patients. Thirty-eight HF patients and 38 age- and gender-matched normal counterparts (NC) were recruited into this study. The HF group performed HIIT (3-min intervals at 40% and 80%VO2peak) on a bicycle ergometer for 30 min/day, 3 days/week for 12 weeks, whereas the NC group did not receive any form of intervention. Plasma TG kinetics, procoagulant MPs, coagulation-related factors, and oxidative stress/proinflammatory status were analyzed. The results demonstrated that the HF group exhibited (i) less endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) and TG rate, (ii) lower concentration/activity of tissue factor (TF) and counts of TF-rich MPs derived from blood cells, and (iiii) higher vascular endothelial shedding and plasma myeloperoxidase and interleukin-6 concentrations, compared to the NC group did. However, HIIT elevated plasma ETP and TG rate, as well as, TF concentration/activity and blood cell-derived procoagulant MP levels in the HF patients. Moreover, the exercise regimen also decreased vascular endothelial shedding and plasma myeloperoxidase and interleukin-6 concentrations in patients with HF. Hence, we conclude that HF reduces the capacity of endogenous TG in plasma, which is associated with decreased (or consumed) circulatory procoagulant MP levels. However, HIIT alleviates HF-declined endogenous TG capacity and vascular endothelial damage through recuperating TF-related coagulation activity and suppressing oxidative stress/proinflammatory status.
Observing a lack of research investigating the chronic physiological and psychological responses to this type of exercise training the aim of this study is to investigate the optimal training configurations of DoIT to produce positive effects on health, performance and quality of life markers in sedentary overweight or obese adults aged 30-55 years. The DoIT program will be performed in a small-group setting indoor or outdoor implementing a progressive manner for 12 months and using bodyweight exercises with alternative modes.
High intensity interval training (HIIT) and circuit training (CT) are popular methods of exercise, eliciting improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). However direct comparisons of these two training methods are limited.
High intensity interval training (HIIT) has recently emerged as a time efficient alternative to conventional endurance exercise, conferring similar or superior benefits in terms of metabolic and performance adaptations in both athletic and non-athletic populations. Some of these physiological adaptations include augmented mitochondrial biogenesis and improved substrate metabolism in peripheral tissues such as skeletal muscle. However, nutritional strategies to optimise the adaptations to HIIT have yet to be established. Recent evidence suggests that acute nutritional status can affect the molecular regulation of genes mediating substrate metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis. Moreover, preliminary evidence suggests that completion of exercise in fasted conditions augments some of these exercise-induced adaptations compared with the fed state. Given the fact that the transient molecular adaptations to acute exercise mediate long-term physiological adaptations, an investigation into the effects of different nutritional interventions on metabolic and performance responses to HIIT is warranted. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of fasted vs. fed-state (Whey Protein) HIIT on metabolic and performance adaptations in the acute (single exercise session) and chronic (3 weeks, 9 exercise sessions) phases. The primary hypothesis is that different pre-exercise feeding conditions (e.g. fasted placebo vs. Whey protein fed) will result in divergent physiological adaptations in terms of skeletal muscle metabolism and performance, both in response to a single HIIT session and a chronic HIIT intervention.
