Effect Of High Intensity Interval Training Vs Low Intensity Training On Fat Loss In Patients With Obesity, Jonathan Aaron Deck, Adarsh Gupta May 2021

Effect Of High Intensity Interval Training Vs Low Intensity Training On Fat Loss In Patients With Obesity, Jonathan Aaron Deck, Adarsh Gupta

Rowan-Virtua Research Day

Nowadays, there are several exercise modalities to lose weight, retain, and or build lean body mass. A widely known training philosophy that has gained increased popularity is high intensity interval training (HIIT). HIIT is based on exercising at submaximal or maximal intensity for a brief period then reducing work to minimal intensity for a longer duration in a series of repeated bouts. The benefit of HIIT is to increase fat loss through the scientific principle of EPOC (excess post exercise oxygen consumption). Low intensity training (LIT) also has its benefits in that it is more sustainable but with the caveat …

Rowan-Virtua Research Day

Introduction

  • Obesity is the most serious public health problem because it is linked to cardiovascular diseases.
  • Measuring fat mass is necessary to study the obesity epidemic.
  • Fat mass can be estimated by measuring impedance of the human body.

Conclusions

  • A novel bioelectrical impedance analyzer for body fat estimation.
  • Device validated for 40 healthy human subjects against commercial analyzer.
  • Great potential to replace commercial analyzers for wearable real-time body fat monitoring.
