Overview

Meta-analysis reveals HIIT improves VO2 max and reduces SBP more than MICT among children and adolescents with obesity, suggesting targeted training methods.

Key Points

  • HIIT significantly reduced fat mass, waistline, body weight, diastolic blood pressure, and improved VO2 max in overweight and obese youth.
  • MICT showed notable effects on BMI, body weight, and VO2 max but was less effective than HIIT in reducing systolic blood pressure.
  • Study involved 26 trials with 1,078 participants aged 9–19, using random-effects model to analyze standardized mean differences.
  • HIIT is recommended three times per week for greater health benefits, especially in specific demographic subgroups.
