A

> 60

17
Q

How many weeks of HIIT has been shown to markedly improve VO2 max in SEDENTARY & recreationally active individuals

A

10 weeks

18
Q

T/F HIIT can elicit rapid improvements in aerobic fitness

A

True

19
Q

How long do the short to moderate bouts of exercise last in a HIIT

A

10s to 5 min

20
Q

T/f HIIT can increase fat oxidation in untrained individuals

A

true

21
Q

HIIT exercise causes a use of more lipids and less glycogen in which individuals

A

untrained

22
Q

what does HIIT stand for

A

High Intensity Interval Training

23
Q

HIIT enhances oxidative capacity in which type of fibres for untrained individuals?

A

Type 2

24
Q

HIIT increases ______ (3) in untrained individuals

A
  • Increased peak anaerobic power output
  • Increased total work done
  • Increased VO2 max
25
Q

Which 5 enzymes activity is increased in untrained individuals because of HIIT

A
  • HK (hexokinase)
  • PFK (phosphofructoknase)
  • SDH (citrate synthase)
  • MDH (malate dehydrogenase)
26
Q

Which 5 enzymes activity is increased in untrained individuals because of HIIT

A
  • HK (hexokinase)
  • PFK (phosphofructoknase)
  • SDH (citrate synthase)
  • MDH (malate dehydrogenase)
27
Q

Why is HIIT more effective at increasing endurance performance than continuous submax training alone?

A

HIIT has an upregulation of both aerobic and anerobic metabolism

28
Q

What is the most common response to HIIT in untrained and moderately active individuals

A

Improved capacity for aerobic metabolism:
- increased expression of type 1 fibres
- increased capillarisation
- increased oxidative enzyme activity

29
Q

What distance runner does HIIT help

A

3km & 10 km running performance in middle and long-distance runners

30
Q

Which type of cyclists does HIIT help

A

40 km time-trial performance in endurance trained cyclists

31
Q

A

False, no improvements have been observed

32

A
  • VO2 max
  • Anaerobic Threshold (AT)
  • Lactate Threshold (Tlac)
  • Ventilatory threshold (Tvent)
  • Onset of Blood lactate Accumulation (OBLA)
  • Vmax
33
Q

A

Exercise intensity

34
Q

Prescription of HIIT sessions Tmax

A
