Abstract

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has recently been explored as a time-efficient alternative to traditional moderate-intensity continuous endurance training (MIT) in the treatment of chronic diseases. The analysis of randomized-controlled studies examines the effects of HIIT interventions on indicators of obesity (e. g. body weight, body composition, cardio-metabolic risk factors) and aerobic capacity, in overweight and obese adolescents (11–18 years). The study reveals that HIIT significantly decreases body mass, body composition or body mass index, increases cardiorespiratory fitness and reduces specific risk factors like homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), cholesterol or blood pressure.
