High Intensity Training Versus Traditional Exercise...

As a general guideline, a review paper equivalent to a 20 minute oral presentation might be 5-10 pages and include 10 or more references. Shorter papers and fewer references would be appropriate if there is greater critical analysis of the subject area. Literature review: High-intensity training versus traditional exercise interventions for promoting healthï ¼Å½ Emerging research examining high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT) indicates that it may be more effective at reducing subcutaneous and abdominal body fat than other types of exercise. In addition, it may promote health in various ways. I will focus on the comparison of HIIT and traditional exercise on the exercise performance, fat loss, fitness, insulin resistance, etc. Possible mechanisms underlying HIIT-induced fat loss and implications for the use of HIIT in the treatment and prevention of obesity are also discussed. High-Intensity Interval Training versus Traditional Exercise Interventions for Promoting Health Abstract: Keywords: 1. Introduction: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) as a compromise between time-consuming moderate-intensity training and sprint-interval training requiring all-out efforts, is emerging as a potential time efficient strategy for health promotion. Current recommended guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week is reduced by half to 75 minutes if the week’s activity is done at a vigorous intensity (ACSM, 2014). HIIT, when compared to Traditional Exercise
