that could really make a difference. Research shows that high intensity interval training or HIIT is the fastest, most effective way to boost your fitness – it could also help you live longer, help your heart and keep your memory super-sharp!
In a five-year Norwegian study looking at 1500 adults, participants were placed into three groups: HIIT, moderate exercise and following the government’s activity guidelines. Those in the HIIT group had the biggest reduction in death from all causes.Our peak oxygen uptake is much higher following a HIIT session and this increased oxygen uptake could have serious, long-term positive impact., Michael Mosley talks to Prof Martin Gibala from McMaster University in Ontario.
“Well, when we do high intensity exercise, it's a bit like really stomping on the pedal and dropping those fuel gauges very, quickly, then that leads to the process of cellular remodelling. And that remodelling enhances our physiological capacity. Even if it doesn't take very long, we can see these similar responses in much less time.”According to Prof Gibala, the best way to get started with HIIT is “getting out of your comfort zone”, which looks different for everyone.
