A Comparison of Continuous Moderate Training and Reduced High Intensity Interval Training in Obese Young Adults

A Comparison of Reduced HIIT and Moderate Intensity Continuous Exercise in Obese Young Adults

Exercise is a key component of obesity management. Obese subjects cannot attend or sustain exercise program because of increased general fatigue, dyspnea and muscle fatigue. And they feel more exertion when comparing with normal weight subjects. Reduced-exertion high-intensity interval training (REHIT) is a alternative method to continuous exercise programs. The investigators aimed comparing metabolic effects of REHIT and continuous exercise in young adults, in this study.
