Metabolic Adaptions To HIIT

Question 1

What is HIIT

Answer 1

High intensity interval training w a potent time efficient strat to induce numerous metabolic adaptations similar to endurance training

Question 2

Study: HIIT exercise endurance capacity

Answer 2

Participants cycled 80% of v02 max until fatigue and HIIT improved exercise duration from 26 to 51 min over 2 weeks

Question 3

Comparison between HIIT and endurance training:

Answer 3

Both hiit and endurance training improves exercise capacity

Question 4

Study: HIIT training increase muscle glycogen in resting condition and decreased glycogen breakdown during exercise

Question 5

Hiit training decreases lactate production while increasing pdh activity during exercise

Question 6

Summary of adaptions to HIIT

Answer 6

1.Increases vo2 max and proportion of lipid to carb used during exercise at a given absolute moderate intensity
2.increased muscle mitochondrial and glucose content
3.increased endurance and sprint performance
4.decreased muscle glycogen breakdown
5. Decreased lactate production

Question 7

What happens when there is an interruption of endurance training

Answer 7

1.decrease muscle mitochondrial content
2. Decrease muscle lipoprotein lipase
3. Increase adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase
4.decrease in resting muscle glycogen
