简介:
Overview
This study presents a low-cost and easy-to-implement "real world" high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocol for scientific research and discusses its efficiency for cardiorespiratory fitness. The protocol is designed to be practiced in real-world settings, making it accessible for both research and general health improvement.

What is high-intensity interval training?
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by rest or low-intensity periods.
How does this protocol differ from traditional HIIT?
This protocol is designed to be low-cost and easy to implement in real-world settings, unlike traditional HIIT that often requires specialized equipment.
Who can benefit from this HIIT protocol?
Both researchers and apparently healthy individuals can benefit from this accessible exercise protocol.
What are the health benefits of HIIT?
HIIT can improve cardiorespiratory fitness and may help prevent cardiometabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity.
Is professional guidance necessary for this training?
Yes, it is essential to take advice from a professional of physical exercise before starting the protocol.
How should participants prepare for the training?
Participants should familiarize themselves with the treadmill and mouthpiece used on the metabolic analyzer at least 24 hours before testing.
