In older adults, persistent pain is a widely prevalent and a disabling condition of multiple contributing factors: physical, mental, and social. Consequently, their quality of life is hampered.

Once there are changes in motor unit recruitment due to fatigue, the effect of verbal instructions can change during different intervals of a set. This study analyzed whether verbal instruction emphasized the contraction of back muscles (i.

- The study compared heart rate dynamics and variability before and after high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) using treadmill workouts.
- HIIT-4:3 showed a faster heart rate peak and greater sympathetic activity post-exercise, while HIIT-30:30 and MICT had improved heart rate variability during recovery.
- Overall, HIIT-4:3 leads to more sympathetic dominance and potential cardiac overload, whereas HIIT-30:30 enhances heart rate recovery and autonomic balance.
