The Role of High-Intensity Interval Training and Strength Training in Cardiovascular Health
Guest: Amanda R. Bonikowske, Ph.D.
Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky)
The primary advantage of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) — periods of higher intensity exercise followed by periods of lower intensity exercise in repetition — for cardiorespiratory fitness is peak VO2. HIIT is a more potent stimulus for increasing peak VO2 in a much shorter period of time compared with moderate-intensity continuous training.
Joining us today to discuss HIIT is Amanda R. Bonikowske, Ph.D., program director for the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Specific topics discussed:
- HIIT explained
- Variability, guidelines and rest-to-work ratios
- Benefits over moderate-intensity training
- The One-Minute Workout
- Physiology of HIIT
- Impact on HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure
- Safety
