The Impact of High-Intensity Interval Training on Cardiovascular Health in Sedentary Adults

Project Abstract

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has gained popularity in recent years as an effective exercise strategy for improving cardiovascular health. This research project aims to investigate the impact of HIIT on cardiovascular health in sedentary adults. The study will involve a randomized controlled trial with sedentary adults aged 30-50 years old who will undergo a 12-week HIIT intervention. The primary outcomes of interest include changes in blood pressure, heart rate, lipid profile, and aerobic fitness levels.
