    I continue to see #HIIT mischaracterized as “anaerobic” exercise. Cardio interval training is mainly fuelled by aerobic metabolism — even repeated ‘all out’ cycling sprints — as shown in classic work @McMasterU @APSPhysiology ajpendo.physiology.org/content/ajpend… ajpendo.physiology.org/content/277/5/…

    New meta-analysis comparing interval vs continuous training concludes "HIIE showed to be more effective in improving cardiovascular health and cardiorespiratory fitness, while MICT was superior in improving long-term glucose metabolism" #HIIT @MSSEonline journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Abst…

    Practical (non all-out) low-volume HIIT can feasibly be implemented in the real world. 2x4min and 5x1min regimens improved CRF & health markers similar to traditional ex despite 60% less time commitment in sedentary adults. Enjoyment ratings not different. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

    Sprint interval exercise reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity in glucose intolerant individuals to a greater extent than continuous exercise | The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism |
    Correlation analysis between plasma IP6K1, SG2* (r = 0.151; P = 0.281), SI2* (r = 0.402; P = 0.055), and HOMAIR (r = 0.429; P = 0.043). (A–C) Additional data from a previously published article (Mackenzie et al., 2011) and the current data set (n = 17) are included. Correlation analysis includes both patients with prediabetes and patients with T2D. (D) Correlation analysis for muscle IP6K1 protein content (n = 9)...
