“…These results agree with those obtained by Kukuljan et al and Sañudo et al that showed a significant increase of BMD after a resistance training program in sedentary men and women (+1% to 2% in both cases). Despite the significant decrease of FM and increase of LM found in the HIIT group (−5% and +5%, respectively), partly consistent with previous findings, no significant changes were noted in BMC. The lack of improvements in BMC can be attributed to the short duration of our intervention program, since longer exercise training program are usually required to improve BMC …”

We aimed to investigate the effects of different exercise training programs on body composition parameters in sedentary middle‐aged adults. A total of 89 middle‐aged adults (53.5 ± 4.9 years old; ~53% women) participated in the FIT‐AGEING study. A 12‐week randomized controlled trial was performed with a parallel group design. The participants were randomly assigned to (a) a concurrent training based on physical activity recommendation from the World Health Organization group (PAR group), (b) a high‐intensity interval training group (HIIT group), and (c) a high‐intensity interval training group adding whole‐body electromyostimulation group (WB‐EMS group). A significant decrease of fat body mass, fat body mass index, and visceral adipose tissue was observed in all training modalities compared to the control group (all P ≤ 0.001). There was a significant increase in lean body mass in the HIIT group as well as in the WB‐EMS group compared to the control group and the PAR group (all P ≤ 0.044), whereas an increment of lean body mass index was only observed in the WB‐EMS group compared to the control group and the PAR group (all P ≤ 0.042). A significant increase of bone mineral content was observed in the WB‐EMS group compared to the control group (P = 0.015), while no changes were found in the PAR group and in the HIIT group compared to the control group (all P ≥ 0.2). Our findings suggest that PAR, HIIT, and WB‐EMS can be used as a strategy to improve body composition parameters, obtaining slightly better results with the application of WB‐EMS.

“…In the meta‐analysis of Maillard et al . , when the HIIT protocols had lower time commitments and/or energy expenditures than had the MICT protocols, there was a tendency to favour MICT for total body fat reduction. This highlights the importance of the energy expenditure of the session.…”

“…In their meta‐analysis of adults with obesity, Maillard et al . evaluated the effects of HIIT on abdominal fat mass and visceral fat mass and reported a reduction in these two indicators of central obesity. In other meta‐analyses, waist circumference as an indicator of central obesity was analysed .…”

“…However, owing to methodological aspects, gaps remain in the literature regarding the real effect of HIIT on anthropometric variables and physiological parameters specifically related to health in adults affected by overweight. In particular, previous studies were limited with regard to extrapolation of this population owing to the wide age ranges of study populations and the inclusion of confounding variables such as children and adolescents (24), elderly (23), individuals with normal weight (24) and individuals with certain medical characteristics, such as coronary artery disease, heart transplant recipients, post-myocardial infarction (23), colorectal cancer survivors (24) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and rheumatic disease (25). In addition, the lack of a control group that did not undergo exercise (24)(25)(26)(27) could be considered to introduce a risk of bias when analysing the effectiveness of HIIT.…”

“…Faced with this scenario, the use of a network meta-analysis can be an interesting strategy allowing the imputation of control/experimental groups to conduct the necessary analyses. Additionally, the number of identified studies can be expanded by increasing the search databases because, in some existing reviews, only one (23) or two (24,25) electronic databases were included in the search strategy, representing a key limiting factor (31).…”

Summary Objective The goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) on anthropometric variables in adults afflicted with overweight or obesity and to compare the effects with those of moderate‐intensity continuous training. Methods A computer literature search was performed for HIIT intervention studies that evaluated anthropometric variables in adults afflicted with overweight or obesity. Results Of the 857 articles retrieved in the electronic search, 48 met the inclusion criteria. The analyses demonstrated that HIIT was effective in decreasing body mass (−1.45 kg [95% CI: −1.85 to −1.05 kg]), body mass index (−0.44 kg m−2 [95% CI: −0.59 to −0.30 kg m−2]), waist circumference (−2.3 cm [95% CI: −3.1 to −1.4 cm]), waist/hip ratio (−0.01 [95% CI: −0.02 to −0.00]), body fat percentage (−1.29% [95% CI: −1.70% to −0.87%]) and abdominal visceral fat area (−6.83 cm2 [95% CI: −11.95 to −1.71 cm2]). When considering equalization between the two methods (energy expenditure or workload matched), no differences were found in any measure except body mass (for which HIIT was superior). Conclusions High‐intensity interval training and moderate‐intensity continuous training results were similar, particularly when equalization between the two methods was considered. Thus, HIIT can be used as a secondary method for the treatment of obesity in adults.

Key Points Question How does an intensive lifestyle intervention affect the association between variability in adiposity indices and cardiovascular outcomes and deaths among adults with type 2 diabetes? Findings In this cohort study of 3604 adults with type 2 diabetes, a greater variability in body mass index and waist circumference was independently associated with higher risks of cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality in the control group. In the intensive lifestyle intervention group, no association was observed between variability in these indices and the outcomes. Meaning These findings suggest that weight fluctuations during weight loss attempts may lead to increased cardiovascular and mortality risk among individuals with type 2 diabetes.
