High-intensity interval training (HIIT), also called high-intensity intermittent exercise, is a type of interval training, which involves a series of high-intensity workouts incorporated with rest or relief periods. The high-intensity periods are an anaerobic exercise, while the recovery periods include an activity of lower intensity. Interval training is a cardiovascular exercise strategy (e.g., cycling, running, rowing). There is no fixed duration of this session; usually, 30 minutes are sufficient. Also, it depends on the fitness level of the participant and the intensity of the session. So basically, this saves your time and gives faster results too.
According to some research programs, HIIT tends to create
new mitochondria and boost existing ones, which decrease ageing-related muscle
problems, such as weakness and dysfunction. It also increases the number of
calories your body burns during and post-exercise session. It burns more stored
fat, which may help to reduce your body fat. HIIT improves cardiovascular
fitness in healthful adults of age 18–45 and adolescents. It also leads to mild
improvements in the body. People who have coronary artery disease found that
HIIT leads to enormous improvements. It also promotes whole-body fat oxidation.
HIIT is useful for cognitive control and functioning memory capacity when
compared to a variety of board games, computer games, and trivia quizzes.
