Influence of Exercise Intensity on the Expression of Angiogenesis-Related Genes in the Hearts of Male Rats [PDF]
Introduction: Angiogenesis, the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing vessels, crucially involves activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) genes.

The physiological impact of high‐intensity interval training in octogenarians with comorbidities
AbstractBackgroundDeclines in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and fat‐free mass (FFM) with age are linked to mortality, morbidity and poor quality of life. High‐intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to improve CRF and FFM in many groups, but its efficacy in the very old, in whom comorbidities are present is undefined. We aimed to assess the

High-intensity interval training vs. moderate-intensity continuous training in the prevention/management of cardiovascular disease [PDF]
Moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) has long been considered the most effective exercise treatment modality for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease, but more recently high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has emerged into ...

High-intensity Interval Training and Obesity
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has become a promising strategy to induce a number of metabolic adaptations and alter body composition. Recent evidence suggests that HIIT can be a time-efficient strategy to promote health in sedentary overweight/obese individuals.

Review of High-intensity Interval Training in Cardiac Rehabilitation
For the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation is required. This involves optimal medical therapy, education on nutrition and exercise therapy, and smoking cessation. Of these, efficient exercise therapy is a key factor. A highly effective training protocol is therefore warranted, which requires a high rate
