With only a quarter of young people currently meeting physical activity guidelines, two key areas of concern are the effects of exercise on cardiometabolic health and cognition. Despite the fact that physical activity in young people is typically high intensity and intermittent in nature, much of the literature examines traditional endurance-type exercise. This review provides an update on the effects of high-intensity intermittent exercise on young people's cardiometabolic health and cognition. High-intensity intermittent exercise has acute beneficial effects on endothelial function and postprandial lipemia and chronic positive effects on weight management. In addition, there is emerging evidence regarding chronic benefits on the blood lipid profile, blood pressure, and proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests beneficial acute and chronic effects of high-intensity intermittent exercise on cognition. However, further research is required in both cardiometabolic health and cognition, particularly regarding the impact of school-based interventions in adolescents.

Introduction: Research on the effects of training programs involving small-sided games (SSG) versus high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been increasing in recent years. However, there is limited understanding of how an individual's initial physical fitness level might influence the extent of adaptations achieved through these programs. This study aimed to compare the impacts of SSG and HIIT on male soccer players, while also considering the players' athleticism, categorized into lower and higher total athleticism score (TSA).

Originally developed as a specific form of exhaustive intermittent training involving 6-8 X 20-seconds of supramaximal-intensity cycling exercises with 10-seconds of recovery for athletes, Tabata training has become universally recognized around the world. The purpose of this review article is to provide a perspective on Tabata training and discuss how this popular style of intermittent training has evolved and been applied over the last ~30 years. The article will review the original motivation behind Tabata training with relevance to concepts such as maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD) and maximal oxygen uptake (V̇o2max) and discuss how Tabata training has been adapted to involve resistance exercise, cross training, and sport-specific training.

Article Synopsis
- Myocardial infarction leads to mitochondrial damage and loss of function, prompting research into treatment options, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for muscle recovery.
- A study at Shahid Rajaei University investigated the impact of 8 weeks of HIIT on follistatin (FST) gene expression in fast and slow twitch muscle in rats with myocardial infarction.
- Results showed a significant decrease in FST gene expression in slow twitch muscles and a significant increase in fast twitch muscles after HIIT, indicating changes in muscle atrophy response following intense exercise.
Effect of high-intensity intermittent rehabilitation training on physical function, gut microbiome and metabolite after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with coronary heart disease.

Background: Postoperative rehabilitation exercise training after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is crucial for coronary heart disease (CHD) patients in restoring health and preventing recurrence, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT). However, the impact of HIIT on cardiopulmonary function, gut microbiome and metabolite remains underexplored.
Methods: This study included 60 patients with CHD who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
