High-intensity interval training to maximize cardiac benefits of exercise training?

Ulrik Wisløff et al. Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2009 Jul.

Abstract

We hypothesized that high-intensity aerobic interval training results in a greater beneficial adaptation of the heart compared with that observed after low-to-moderate exercise intensity. This is supported by recent epidemiological, experimental, and clinical studies. Cellular and molecular mechanisms of myocardial adaptation to exercise training are discussed in this review.
