Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project aims to investigate the effects of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with physical inactivity being a significant risk factor. HIIT has gained popularity as an effective exercise modality for improving cardiovascular fitness in various populations. However, its specific effects on sedentary individuals remain underexplored. The research will begin with a comprehensive review of the literature on HIIT and its impact on cardiovascular health. This will include an examination of the physiological mechanisms underlying the benefits of HIIT, such as improved aerobic capacity, endothelial function, and blood pressure regulation. The review will also explore existing studies that have investigated HIIT in sedentary populations to identify gaps in the current knowledge. The methodology chapter will outline the research design, participant recruitment criteria, training protocols, and outcome measures. Sedentary individuals will undergo a structured HIIT program under the supervision of qualified fitness professionals. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will include measurements of cardiovascular fitness, blood pressure, lipid profile, and other relevant biomarkers. The findings chapter will present the results of the study, including changes in cardiovascular parameters following the HIIT intervention. Statistical analyses will be conducted to determine the significance of these changes and their clinical relevance. The discussion will interpret the findings in the context of existing literature, highlighting the potential implications for sedentary individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease. In conclusion, this research project aims to contribute to the growing body of evidence on the benefits of HIIT for cardiovascular health, particularly in sedentary individuals. By elucidating the effects of HIIT on key cardiovascular parameters, the study may inform future exercise recommendations for this at-risk population. Ultimately, the findings of this research have the potential to improve public health strategies aimed at reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease globally.
