Thesis Abstract

Abstract
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has gained popularity in recent years as an effective and time-efficient exercise strategy for improving cardiovascular health. This thesis investigates the impact of HIIT on cardiovascular health in young adults. The study aims to examine the effects of HIIT on various cardiovascular parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and aerobic fitness. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, including the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review on HIIT and its effects on cardiovascular health, highlighting key studies and findings in the field. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, participants, data collection methods, variables measured, data analysis techniques, and ethical considerations. The study utilizes a randomized controlled trial design with a sample of young adults engaging in a structured HIIT program over a specified period. Chapter Four presents a detailed discussion of the findings, analyzing the impact of HIIT on cardiovascular health outcomes based on the study results. The chapter explores changes in heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and aerobic fitness before and after the HIIT intervention. In Chapter Five, the conclusion and summary of the thesis are provided, summarizing the key findings, implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the effectiveness of HIIT in improving cardiovascular health in young adults and provides valuable insights for health professionals and individuals seeking to optimize their exercise routines for cardiovascular benefits. Overall, this thesis sheds light on the potential of HIIT as a promising exercise modality for enhancing cardiovascular health outcomes in young adults and underscores the importance of regular physical activity in promoting overall well-being and longevity.

Thesis Overview

The research project, titled "The Impact of High-Intensity Interval Training on Cardiovascular Health in Young Adults," aims to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiovascular health among young adults. Cardiovascular disease is a prevalent health concern globally, with factors such as sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary habits contributing to its increasing incidence among young adults. HIIT has gained popularity as an efficient and time-effective exercise strategy that involves short bursts of intense exercise alternated with brief recovery periods. This research seeks to explore how HIIT can positively impact cardiovascular health parameters, including heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and overall cardiovascular fitness, in young adults. The study will involve a structured intervention program where participants will engage in HIIT sessions for a specified duration under the supervision of qualified fitness trainers. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be conducted to measure changes in cardiovascular health markers and overall physical fitness levels. Additionally, subjective feedback from participants regarding their experience with HIIT and perceived changes in cardiovascular health will be collected through surveys and interviews. By examining the impact of HIIT on cardiovascular health in young adults, this research aims to contribute valuable insights to the field of health and physical education. The findings from this study have the potential to inform health promotion strategies and exercise prescription guidelines for improving cardiovascular health outcomes in young adult populations. Ultimately, this research project seeks to advance our understanding of the benefits of HIIT as a potential intervention for enhancing cardiovascular health and promoting overall well-being among young adults.
