Title: | Effectiveness of Whole-Body High-Intensity Interval Training on Health-Related Fitness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis | Authors: | Scoubeau, Corentin BONNECHERE, Bruno Cnop, Miriam Faoro, Vitalie Klass, Malgorzata |
Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | MDPI | Source: | International journal of environmental research and public health (Print), 19 (15) (Art N° 9559) | Abstract: | Due to its versatility, whole-body high-intensity interval training (WB-HIIT) can be proposed to the general population and patients to improve health-related fitness. However, its effectiveness compared to traditional aerobic continuous or interval trainings has yet to be determined. A search of four electronic databases was conducted. Studies reporting the effects of WB-HIIT on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), fat mass, fat-free mass, musculoskeletal fitness and metabolic risk factors were included. Standardized mean differences (SMD) between WB-HIIT and no exercise or traditional aerobic trainings were calculated. A meta-regression assessed the effect of total training time on the different outcomes. Twenty-two studies were included in the systematic review and nineteen in the meta-analysis. Compared to no exercise, WB-HIIT improves CRF (SMD: 0.75; 95%CI: 0.28, 1.23; p < 0.001), fat-free mass (SMD: 0.38; 95%CI: 0.11, 0.65; p < 0.001), fat mass (SMD: 0.40; 95%CI: 0.09, 0.72; p < 0.001) and musculoskeletal fitness (SMD: 0.84; 95%CI: 0.61, 1.08; p < 0.001). Compared to other aerobic trainings, WB-HIIT has a lower effect on CRF (SMD: -0.40; 95%CI: -0.70, -0.11; p = 0.007), a similar effect on fat-free mass (SMD: -0.04; 95%CI: -0.44, 0.35; p = 0.8) and fat mass (SMD: -0.07; 95%CI: -0.39, 0.25; p = 0.7), and a larger effect on musculoskeletal fitness (SMD: 0.42; 95%CI: 0.14, 0.71; p = 0.003). WB-HIIT overall effect and specific effect on CRF and fat mass were associated with total training time. The systematic review did not provide evidence of metabolic risk improvement. Despite a slightly lower effect on CRF, WB-HIIT is equally effective as traditional aerobic trainings to improve body composition and more effective to enhance musculoskeletal fitness, which is essential for execution of daily tasks. | Notes: | Klass, M (corresponding author), Univ Libre Bruxelles, Fac Motor Sci, Res Unit Biometry & Exercise Nut, B-1070 Brussels, Belgium.; Klass, M (corresponding author), Univ Libre Bruxelles, ULB Neurosci Inst, Fac Motor Sci, Res Unit Appl Neurophysiol,Lab Appl Biol, B-1070 Brussels, Belgium. corentin.scoubeau@ulb.be; bruno.bonnechere@uhasselt.be; miriam.cnop@ulb.be; vitalie.faoro@ulb.be; malgorzata.klass@ulb.be |
