Project Abstract

Abstract
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential to improve cardiovascular health. This study aims to investigate the effects of HIIT on cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals through a comparative analysis. The research will involve two groups of sedentary individuals, with one group undergoing a structured HIIT program while the other group serves as a control. Various cardiovascular parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, aerobic capacity, and lipid profile will be measured before and after the intervention period. The introduction provides an overview of the rising prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and the associated cardiovascular health risks. The background of the study delves into the mechanisms through which HIIT can impact cardiovascular health, highlighting its potential benefits compared to traditional continuous exercise. The problem statement emphasizes the need to explore effective strategies to improve cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals. The objectives of the study include evaluating the impact of HIIT on cardiovascular parameters, comparing the results with the control group, and identifying factors that may influence the effectiveness of HIIT. The limitations of the study, such as sample size constraints and adherence to the exercise program, are also discussed. The scope of the study outlines the specific parameters and measurements that will be considered in evaluating cardiovascular health. The significance of the study lies in its potential to provide insights into the effectiveness of HIIT as a time-efficient exercise strategy for improving cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals. The structure of the research details the organization of the study, including data collection methods, analysis techniques, and expected outcomes. Lastly, the definition of terms clarifies key concepts related to HIIT, cardiovascular health, and sedentary behavior. The literature review covers ten key studies that have investigated the effects of HIIT on cardiovascular health, highlighting the diverse methodologies and outcomes reported in the existing literature. The research methodology section outlines the study design, participant recruitment, intervention protocols, data collection methods, statistical analysis, and ethical considerations. In the discussion of findings, the results of the cardiovascular assessments before and after the HIIT intervention are presented and compared between the two groups. Factors influencing the effectiveness of HIIT, such as exercise intensity, duration, and frequency, are explored. The implications of the findings for promoting cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals are discussed, along with recommendations for future research. In conclusion, this study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the beneficial effects of HIIT on cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals. The findings underscore the potential of HIIT as a feasible and effective exercise strategy for improving cardiovascular parameters in this population. Further research is warranted to explore optimal HIIT protocols and long-term effects on cardiovascular health outcomes.
