The impact of two training programs (high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training) on blood lipid-protein concentrations in adult males who do not engage in physical activity.

This study aims to compare the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on physiological indicators in adult males who do not engage in physical activity and have elevated levels of lipoproteins. The study aims to provide a practical and innovative solution to reduce lipoprotein levels and enhance physical health through effective, time- and resource-efficient HIIT training.The study included 18 individuals aged between 28-34 years, divided into three groups: a HIIT group, a MICT group, and a control group. The training was conducted over ten weeks, three days a week. HIIT sessions lasted 22-27 minutes, including warm-up and cool-down periods, with 4-9 minutes of active training at 75%-95% heart rate intensity. MICT sessions lasted 48-78 minutes, with 30-50 minutes on a bicycle at a speed of 10-18 km/h and 55%-75% heart rate intensity.The results showed positive effects of both HIIT and MICT on lipoprotein levels. Still, HIIT demonstrated more significant improvements, including reductions in V.LDL-C, LDL-C, total cholesterol, and increased HDL-C levels. Despite the benefits of both training methods, HIIT's time efficiency makes it particularly attractive for those with time constraints.The study recommends using HIIT exercises as an effective means for weight loss and improving the health of physically inactive adults with lipoprotein disorders. It also encourages the dissemination of this type of exercise in resource-limited communities. Finally, the study advocates adopting HIIT as an effective method to improve health and address issues related to weight and lipoproteins, with a need for further research in this field.
