Abstract
Background: Due to the main obstacle of exercise time commitment, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of low-volume HIIT protocols with more efficient time on health outcomes in obese individuals with increased cardiometabolic risk. Tabata training as one of the most efficient forms of HIIT is known. However, given the remaining adherence and health concerns regarding vigorous exercise in previously sedentary children and adolescents, it remains to be determined whether Tabata training is still effective in inducing physiological adaptations that are associated with improved health outcomes.
Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of Tabata-style HIIT on the lipid profile of overweight and obese girls.
Methodology: In this semi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test design, among overweight and obese girls (body mass index above 25) aged 12 to 17 in Khorram Abad city, 24 overweight and obese girls voluntarily participated in randomly, they were placed in two groups of 12 people, high intensity interval training in Tabata style and control. In the pre-test phase, after 10 hours of overnight fasting, blood samples were taken from the participants in the laboratory of Imam city Khoramabad Hospital. Then the participants started doing exercises for 12 weeks. Participants in the control group were instructed to maintain their routine habits during the intervention period. Participants in the intervention group should complete a total of 36 HIIT sessions in the Tabata style with a frequency of three sessions per week. Each session consisted of 19 minutes of training (10 minutes of warm up, 4 minutes of Tabata training and 5 minutes of cool down). Finally, 48 hours after the last training session, the sampling of the participants was repeated under the same conditions as the pre-test phase. The data was analyzed using covariance test
Results: The results showed that Tabata-style high intensity interval training has a significant effect on reducing total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and increasing HDL (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that performing Tabata-style HIIT training can positively lead to the adjustment of metabolic factors in overweight/obese girls aged 12 to 17 years.
