“…Research has shown the ability of R-HIIT in the school setting to improve aerobic endurance (Bauer et al, 2022;Harnish et al, 2022). Our study found that B-HIIT also improved cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescents, which is consistent with other studies (Paulino da Silva Bento et al, 2021;Bossmann et al, 2022). Cardiac adaptation through HIIT training can explain why resistance exercises based on body weight can lead to similar aerobic fitness as running-based programs.…”

“…Various peripheral and central physiological factors could explain the elevated VO 2max after HIIT intervention (Bossmann et al, 2022). In this study, the possible reason why B-HIIT is superior to R-HIIT is that B-HIIT requires the recruitment of more fast muscle fibers as well as the mobilization of all types of muscle during exercise, thus leading to more blood lactate and consequently to an increase in VO 2max (Binzen et al, 2001).…”

“…A work-rest ratio of 2:1 is optimal for male and female participants in HIIT (Laurent et al, 2014), and exercise intensity of 75%-85% HRmax has been shown to generate positive emotions and contribute to adherence to a physical activity regimen (Malik et al, 2019). We chose the heart rate monitor because we considered it a more objective measure of exercise intensity than those used in most previous studies, which used a work-rest ratio of 1:1 and SPRINT as the mode and chose either all-out training or a percentage of maximal aerobic speed as a measure of exercise intensity (Paulino da Silva Bento et al, 2021;Solera-Martinez et al, 2021;Cao et al, 2022b;Bossmann et al, 2022;Lubans et al, 2022).…”

“…School physical education (PE) lessons provide opportunities for children and adolescents to participate in physical activity and promote their health, but, due to curriculum and personal reasons, each student only participates in exercise between 18% and 50% of the total time in a PE lesson (Gehris et al, 2012;Hollis et al, 2017;Breithecker et al, 2021;Bossmann et al, 2022). Therefore, traditional interventions to improve physical health, such as long-term moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), do not seem suitable for the school environment (Paulino da Silva Bento et al, 2021).…”

“…Therefore, traditional interventions to improve physical health, such as long-term moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), do not seem suitable for the school environment (Paulino da Silva Bento et al, 2021). In addition to the time factor, the intensity of PE lessons is insufficient, weakening their potential health benefits (Hollis et al, 2017;Breithecker et al, 2021;Bossmann et al, 2022). Therefore, it is necessary to explore and develop alternate ways to attract children and adolescents to realize the many health benefits related to regular physical activity.…”

Objectives: High-intensity interval training improves aerobic endurance, but the effectiveness of different training protocols is unclear. This study compared the effects of running-based high-intensity interval training (R-HIIT) and body weight-based high-intensity interval training (B-HIIT) on physical fitness in adolescents.Methods: This was a pre-and post-test quasi-experimental design in which a seventh-grade natural class was randomly selected from three homogeneous middle schools, and then the three natural classes were randomly divided into three groups: the R-HIIT group (n = 54), the B-HIIT group (n = 55), and the control group (Con, n = 57). Both intervention groups exercised twice a week for 12 weeks with a 2:1 (1 min:30 s) load-interval ratio and exercise intensity controlled at 70%–85% maximum heart rate. R-HIIT was in the form of running, and B-HIIT was in the form of resistance exercises using the participants’ body weight. The control group was instructed to continue their normal behavior. cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength and endurance, and speed were measured before and after the intervention. Statistical differences between and within groups were determined using repeated measures analysis of variance.Results: Compared to the baseline, both the R-HIIT and B-HIIT intervention groups significantly improved CRF, muscle strength, and speed (p < 0.05). The B-HIIT group was significantly better than R-HIIT in improving CRF (4.48 mL/kg/min vs 3.34 mL/kg/min, p < 0.05), and only the B-HIIT improved sit-up muscle endurance (ηp2 = 0.30, p < 0.05).Conclusion: The B-HIIT protocol was significantly more effective than the R-HIIT protocol in developing CRF and improving muscle health indicators.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been suggested as an effective treatment approach of childhood obesity. The objective of the present study was to examine intensity, enjoyment, and perceived exertion of a 4x4-minute play-based HIIT program for children and adolescents with obesity. 83 participants (42.2% girls, 12.3±1.5 years, 57.8% boys, 12.0±1.6 years) completed a 12-week intervention comprising three weekly sessions. After nine sessions (weeks 2, 6, and 11), participants rated perceived exertion (RPE) with a Borg scale and enjoyment of activities using the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES). Heart rate (HR) was recorded to assess time spent in high- and moderate-intensity. Participants spent more time in high-intensity during strength-based(P=0.004) and running-based(P=0.007) activities compared to ball games, and more time was spent in moderate-intensity during ball games compared to strength-based(P=0.033) and running-based(P=0.028) activities. Overall, boys spent more time in moderate-intensity than girls(P=0.007). Participants rated RPE lower for ball games than for strength-based(P<0.001) and running-based(P<0.001) activities. Boys rated running-based activities more enjoyable than girls(P=0.021). Exercise intensity and RPE vary by activity in HIIT for children and adolescents with obesity. Ball games led to less high-intensity time and were seen as less exhausting. No differences in RPE or enjoyment were found over time.

Background Several systematic reviews have been published to investigate the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in schools. However, there has been limited attention given to understanding the functioning of the intervention processes, which is of paramount importance for interpreting and translating the intervention effectiveness. The aim of this systematic review is to determine the extent to which process evaluation is measured in school-based HIIT interventions and to explore the effects of process evaluation and intervention characteristics on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), body composition, muscular strength, and blood pressure. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted in SPORT Discus (EBSCOhost), Web of Science, Scopus, Medline (Ovid) and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The extent to which process evaluation is measured was narratively reported, alongside with the guidance of process evaluation of complex interventions by UK Medical Research Council. Meta-analyses and meta-regressions were conducted to determine the effects of process evaluation and intervention characteristics to the intervention outcomes. Results The literature search identified 77 studies reporting on 45 school-based HIIT interventions. In total, five interventions reported process evaluation in a section or in a separate study, and only one intervention adopted a process evaluation framework. On average, 6 out of 12 process evaluation measures were reported in all interventions. Subgroup analyses did not indicate any beneficial treatment effects for studies with process evaluation group, whereas all pooled data and studies without process evaluation group showed significant improvement for CRF and body composition. Conclusion Process evaluation is frequently omitted in the literature of school-based HIIT in children and adolescents. Although reporting of process evaluation measures may not directly associate with better intervention outcomes, it allows accurate interpretation of intervention outcomes, thereby enhancing the generalisability and dissemination of the interventions.
