Not exact matches

High - intensity interval training is a process in which a person performs near maximal exercise for a short period of time, and then performs two to four minutes of active recovery; for example, if someone is on a treadmill they may go from running to walking.

For example, longer duration of exercise or higher intensity exercise might produce an effect.

Rather than simply walking or lightly jogging at a steady speed on the treadmill for an hour or so, HIIT requires you to alternate between periods of high intensity, and low intensity exercise, so for example:

If you feel like your legs are becoming too muscular, try carrying a lighter weight and doing a high amount of reps (for example 15 - 17) and not resting for very long (i.e. 30 to 45 seconds) between exercises to keep the intensity up.

Cardiac output is a great example of this: high cardiac output is a key determinant of endurance exercise performance which requires long duration, low intensity training to optimally adapt.

An example of eustress would be high - intensity exercise where the body is aggressively challenged but later adapts and becomes stronger and more resilient through that stress (1).

For example, due to higher density of mitochondria and more capillaries feeding into muscle, trained endurance athletes rely less on muscle glycogen and plasma glucose and more on fats as an energy source during any given resting or exercise intensity.

However, there's been studies, and examples, that show that the diminishing returns of high intensity exercise start at a 20 % of training volume, rather than the 50 % or 60 % that we'd like.

A few examples of high - intensity exercise are weight training, sprinting, and rowing.

For example, researchers at the University of New South Wales found that young women who engaged in high intensity cardio workouts for 15 weeks improved their insulin sensitivity by 31 % while women who engaged in an equal amount of moderate exercise only saw a 9 % improvement in insulin sensitivity over the 15 week trial!
