AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effects of low-volume and high-volume high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on heart rate responses in post-myocardial infarction patients taking beta-blockers.
- Both HIIT programs resulted in significant improvements in peak heart rate and heart rate recovery, with no major differences between the two training volumes.
- The findings indicate that supervised HIIT was more beneficial than just following physical activity recommendations, with low-volume HIIT being a time-efficient alternative for enhancing heart health in this patient group.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The objectives of this study were to compare the effects of two different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs (low-volume vs high-volume) on chronotropic responses during exercise and recovery, and to contrast the results of the HIIT groups together to only physical activity recommendations in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients taking β-blockers.
Methods: Resting heart rate (HRrest), peak HR (HRpeak), HR reserve (HRreserve = HRpeak-HRrest), HR recovery (HRR) as the difference between HRpeak and post-exercise HR, and chronotropic incompetence were assessed in 70 patients (58 ± 8 yr) following MI with a cardiopulmonary exercise test to peak exertion before and after a 16-wk exercise intervention period. All participants were randomized to either attention control (AC) (physical activity recommendations) or one of the two supervised HIIT groups (2 d/wk).
Results: After the intervention, no significant between-HIIT group differences were observed. The HRpeak increased (P < .05) in low- (Δ= 8 ± 18%) and high-volume HIIT (Δ= 6 ± 9%), with a small decrease in AC (Δ=- 2 ± 12%, P > .05) resulting in large differences (P < .05) between HIIT and AC. The HRreserve increased (P < .05) in high-volume HIIT. The HRR slightly increased (P < .05) in low-volume (5th min, Δ= 19 ± 31%) and high-volume HIIT (2nd min, Δ= 15 ± 29%, and 5th min, Δ= 19 ± 28%).
Conclusion: These findings suggest that both low- and high-volume HIIT elicit similar improvements in chronotropic responses after MI, independent of β-blocker treatment. Supervised HIIT was more effective than giving physical activity recommendations alone. Low-volume HIIT is presented as a potent and time-efficient exercise strategy that could enhance the sympathovagal balance in this population.

Background: Exercise is a non-pharmacological intervention for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), including moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Despite diverse exercise protocol variations, the impact of these variations in HIIT on T2DM anthropometrics, glycemic control, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) remains unclear.
Objective: The aim was to examine the influence of HIIT protocol characteristics on anthropometrics, glycemic control, and CRF in T2DM patients and compare it to control (without exercise) and MICT.

Objective: To explore the effect sizes of different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols on cardiorespiratory parameters when compared with moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in different heart failure (HF) subtypes.
Data Sources: Electronic databases were searched from their inception date until January 23, 2023.
Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included if they compared HIIT with MICT in patients with HF.
No causal association between the volume of strenuous exercise and coronary atherosclerosis: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Objective: Several observational studies have shown that high-volume and high-intensity exercise training increases the prevalence and severity of coronary atherosclerosis, but the causal effect still remains uncertain. This study aims to explore the causal relationship between the volume of strenuous exercise (SE) and coronary atherosclerosis (CA) using the Mendelian randomization (MR) method.
Method: The exposure factors were two basic parameters of the volume of strenuous exercise (duration and frequency of strenuous exercise), the outcome factor was coronary atherosclerosis, and the relevant genetic loci were extracted from the summary data of the genome-wide association study (GWAS) as the instrumental variables, and MR analyses were performed using the inverse variance weighting (IVW) method, the weighted median method, and the MR-egger method.
