The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of either continuous moderate
intensity exercise training (CMIET) alone vs. CMIET combined with a single weekly bout of
high intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiorespiratory fitness. Twenty nine sedentary
participants (36.3±6.9 yrs) at moderate risk of cardiovascular disease were recruited for 12
weeks of exercise training on a treadmill and cycle ergometer. Participants were randomised
into three groups: CMIET+ HIIT (n= 7; 8-12 x 60 sec at 100% VO 2max, 150 sec active …

This study sought to determine if personalized moderate-intensity continuous exercise
training (MICT) combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) was more effective at
improving comprehensive training responsiveness than MICT alone. Apparently healthy, but
physically inactive men and women (n= 54) were randomized to a non-exercise control
group or one of two 13-week exercise training groups:(1) a personalized MICT+ HIIT aerobic
and resistance training program based on the American Council on Exercise guidelines, or …
