High-intensity interval training: monitoring and effect between genders

Abstract

Specialized literature provides compelling evi- dence attesting the efficiency of HIIT. However, it is important to identify gender-specific differences to provide suitable inten- sity levels, in order to maximize results and minimize the likeli- hood of injuries. This study aims to assess HIIT effect at the body mass and cardiorespiratory level as well as its volitional intensity, prescribed according to a progressive maximal effort test.
