“…After the 10 lb BR weight increase for the last 3 weeks both males and females increased arm ergometer VO2 max scores by an additional 9% and 11%, respectively. Overall these improvements in arm ergometer VO2 max are similar to the 5-10% improvements in leg VO2 seen following treadmill, cycle ergometer, and stair climbing HIIT (Allison et al, 2017;Astorino et al, 2012;Bayati et al, 2011;Driller et al, 2009;Laursen et al, 2005;Ziemann et al, 2011).…”

“…During these VO2 max tests peak HR averages were greater than 170 bpm for both baseline and after 3 weeks of BR HIIT, and above 180 bpm after 6 weeks of BR HIIT, indicating high exercising intensities at the end of the VO2 test throughout the 3 testing sessions. Additionally, we assessed As in previous HIIT treadmill, a cycle ergometry, or stair climbing protocols (Allison et al, 2017;Astorino et al, 2012;Bayati et al, 2011;Ziemann et al, 2011) and 4 weeks of BR HIIT (McAuslan, 2013), our first 3 weeks of BR HIIT 3x/week using a 30:60 sec work to rest ratio resulted in a significant 10% increase in female arm ergometer VO2 using a 20 lb BR (Figure 16). The female arm ergometer VO2 improvements after 3 weeks are similar to the 7% reported by McAuslan (2013) also using a 20 lb BR following for 4 weeks of BR HIIT.…”

Physiological basis of brief vigorous exercise to improve health

This review considers the physiological basis of brief vigorous exercise to improve health, with a focus on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and glycaemic control, and the potential underlying mechanisms involved. We defined 'brief' as a protocol lasting ࣘ15 min including warm-up, cool-down and recovery, and involving a total of ࣘ5 min of 'vigorous' exercise, which was classified as meeting or exceeding the lower end of the range for this relative intensity as per the criteria from the American College of Sports Medicine. The physiological mechanisms responsible for the increase in CRF, as measured by maximal oxygen update (V O 2 max ), after brief vigorous exercise are unclear and likely depend on various factors including the specific nature of the intervention as well as the time course of the response. Limited available evidence suggests the potential for an increased oxygen extraction by active muscle (i.e. greater arterio-venous oxygen difference), since an increase inV O 2 max has been reported after several weeks of brief vigorous exercise despite no measurable change in cardiac output. Emerging evidence indicates that brief vigorous exercise can improve glycaemic control, suggesting that this type of exercise could potentially play a role in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes. The acute Martin Gibala is a professor and chair of the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. He is an integrative physiologist who studies the mechanistic basis of exercise responses in humans, and associated health impacts. His research on the topic of interval training has helped to establish the efficacy of brief, intense exercise to enhance physical fitness in both healthy and diseased states. His knowledge translation efforts include a book for the general public on the science of time-efficient exercise, response is not well characterized but several studies have shown that several weeks of vigorous exercise improves estimates of insulin sensitivity as determined by various methods including by hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp. The physiological mechanisms underlying improved CRF and glycaemic control after brief vigorous exercise, and the broader impact on health, remain fruitful areas of investigation.Abstract figure legend Potential for brief vigorous exercise to reduce cardiometabolic disease risk

“…The VO 2peak corresponded to the highest value achieved over a 30 second period. To determine if a valid maximal effort was achieved during the VO 2peak test, participants were required to meet two out of four of the following criteria: HR max within 10 bpm of their predicted maximum, respiratory exchange ratio > 1.1, plateau, and/or volitional exhaustion [33]. All participants exerted maximal effort according to these criteria.…”

Acute high-intensity and moderate-intensity interval exercise do not change corticospinal excitability in low fit, young adults

Previous research has demonstrated a lack of neuroplasticity induced by acute exercise in low fit individuals, but the influence of exercise intensity is unclear. In the present study, we assessed the effect of acute high-intensity (HI) or moderate-intensity (MOD) interval exercise on neuroplasticity in individuals with low fitness, as determined by a peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak ) test (n = 19). Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to assess corticospinal excitability via area under the motor evoked potential (MEP) recruitment curve before and following training. Corticospinal excitability was unchanged after HI and MOD, suggesting no effect of acute exercise on neuroplasticity as measured via TMS in sedentary, young individuals. Repeated bouts of exercise, i.e., physical training, may be required to induce short-term changes in corticospinal excitability in previously sedentary individuals.
