| Description | High intensity interval training (HIIT) is effective strategy including short repeated sprints with very high intensity followed by low intensity exercise or active rest phase. Mostly mentioned types of training are HIIT 30sec Wingate test and HIIT with short intervals, which are performed by stationary bicycle ergometer. For our comparison, we reviewed 34 articles from scientific databases Scopus, Sportdiscus and Web of science. Researches were performed with representative sample of 10-45 people. In the first case of HIIT, the 30sec Wingate test was done during 2-6 week cycles, 3 times per week with frequency of 4-7x 30sec (Wingate test), 4-4,5min rest phase with 80-100% submax./max. capacity. Authors of researches identically say that after 14 days it is getting to significant increase of VO2max +-25%. Next observed effects of HIIT are associated with improving endurance abilities and oxidative capacity by 10-35%. In the second type of HIIT training, authors describe 2-24 weeks cycles, 2-4 times per week, 20 min: 6-24sec lasting exercise with 90% VO2max capacity, the active rest phase takes 12-36sec. Authors say, there are significant changes in reduction of glycogen, increasing oxidative capacity and reduction of subcutaneous and visceral fat already from second week against the control groups. |
