EFFECTS OF HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING IN SEDENTARY, RECREATIONAL AND HIGHLY TRAINED INDIVIDUALS

Abstract

Effects of High Intensity Interval Training in Sedentary, Recreational, and Highly Trained Individuals. Currently the benefits of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), have aroused the interest of health professionals and researchers, as it has become shown to be efficient for health promotion. From this, the objective of this brief review is to demonstrate the physiological adaptations resulting from HIIT in highly trained individuals and sedentary and recreational individuals. Research demonstrated in the literature clearly indicates the benefits of practice of HIIT both for already highly trained athletes and for people who are sedentary and moderately active.
