Summary: | The present study aimed to conduct a literature review of the available research evidence to provide an overview of high intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols as well as primary and secondary outcomes being investigated in research studies, predominantly in the middle aged and older adult population.
Research studies published in the last 5 years that evaluated the effects of HIIT on health-related outcomes in middle aged and older adults individuals (aged 50 years and over) were searched in two academic databases (Academic Search Complete and PubMed) in conjunction with cross referencing of the selected articles. HIIT protocols implemented by the included studies were predominantly of chronic duration, though HIIT-intervention of acute duration was also presented. In terms of outcomes, studies using HIIT among individuals aged 50 years and above have primarily investigated its effects on physical/physiological with only two studies focusing on brain-health variables.
HIIT protocols as well as health-related outcomes significantly varied among studies, suggesting no restricted or standard protocol within middle aged and older adult population. The studies have largely demonstrated that HIIT is a safe and efficacious behavioral health intervention, with substantive implications in the reduction of factors associated with increased morbidity and mortality risk, in these populations.
L’objectif de l’étude était de réaliser une revue de la littérature portant sur les protocoles d’entraînement par intervalles à haute intensité (De l’anglais HIIT) ainsi que sur les résultats primaires et secondaires étudiés dans les études de recherche, principalement chez les adultes d’âge moyen et les personnes âgées de 50 ans et plus.
Nous avons recherché les études publiées au cours des cinq dernières années qui évaluaient les effets du HIIT sur les indices de santé chez les adultes d’âge moyen et les personnes âgées à partir de deux bases de données académiques (Academic Search Complete et PubMed) en conjonction avec des références croisées des articles sélectionnés. Les protocoles HIIT mis en œuvre par les études incluses étaient principalement de durée longue, bien que des interventions HIIT de courte durée aient également été présentées. En termes de résultats, les études utilisant le HIIT chez les personnes âgées de 50 ans et plus ont principalement évalué ses effets physiques/physiologiques. Seulement deux études se sont concentrées sur les variables de santé cé |
