The Effectiveness and Safety of HIIT in Overweight Male Subjects

Increased prevalence of overweight and obesity is one of the main health problems recently. Energy balance from nutrition intake and energy expenditure through physical activity, especially structured physical activity, is needed to prevent overweight individuals become obese individuals. This research objective is to explore the effectiveness and safety of structured high intensity interval training in male young adults subjects with overweight based on change of body composition, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers. This research used experimental model to test structured high intensity interval training program with pre-post test in single group. Comprehensive analysis of training effect in this research consists of measurement of several parameters, such as body composition, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress markers as the benchmark of training safety. Browning white adipose tissue and cognitive function are complement parameters to the assessment of training effectiveness. Daily food record and physical activity for 3 x 24 hours will be carried out periodically to control confounding factors.
