The Effects Of Hiit Versus Mict And Sedentary Controls On Blood Lipid Concentrations In Nondiabetic Overweight And Obese Young Adults: A Meta-Analysis., Christian P. Mccormick, Garrett Mamikunian, David B. Thorp

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 16(3): 791-813, 2023. With rates of obesity and dyslipidemia rising among young adults, this meta-analysis aimed to compare the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and sedentary controls (CON) on low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) in nondiabetic overweight and obese young adults to determine if HIIT or MICT is more efficacious in improving dyslipidemia. Studies included in the analysis had to be randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental studies, comparing the effects of HIIT versus MICT or CON on at least three variables of …

The Metabolic And Physiological Demands Of A Simulated Fire Ground Test Versus A Live-Fire Training Evolution In Professional Firefighters, Drew Edward Gonzalez, Hunter Waldman, Matthew J. Mcallister

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 16(7): 230-241, 2023. Objective: This study examined the similarities in metabolic and physiological demands of a fire ground test (FGT) and a live fire training evolution. Methods: Twenty-seven firefighters completed either a FGT (n = 13) or a live fire training evolution (n = 14). Salivary samples were collected pre, immediately post, and 30-minutes post FGT and live fire training evolution, and analyzed for cortisol, uric acid, and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Heart rate (HR) was measured pre- and post-task. Results: Both tasks resulted in significant elevations in cortisol, IL-1β, and HR. Conclusions: Both the …
