 The training load was heavier in the HIIT program leading to the average RPE and heart
rate being also high in the HIIT program.

 Significant changes were made in the systolic blood pressure where both the HIIT and
MICT groups had an improvement from the pre to post-tests. Diastolic had no significant
difference for both groups.

Results & Discussion (talk about the overall differences and or relationships within and/or
between subjects and what were the major finding in the study)
 The study compared the effects of HIIT and MICT workout programs focusing on heart
rate variability on physically inactive adults.
 The trainings consisted of eight sessions in a period of two weeks. The HIIT program was
relatively longer to perform and had a higher heart rate, rate of perceived exertion, and
the time and number training load was higher.
 Both programs showed an improvement in the systolic blood pressure and the time
domains of the heart rate variability data.
 Low frequency and high frequency ratios only had a significant improvement on the high
intensity interval trainings.
 High blood pressure is correlated through broad research to be a factor of cardiovascular
diseases. The disease is preventable and individuals who perform a sedentary lifestyle are
more prone to this type of diseases.
o As a result of this research, in the short period of two weeks where the
participants had eight sessions of training.
 Exercise helps improve the subjects blood pressure due to the heart being able to apply
less pressure when pumping blood. It is very important to consider doing any type of
exercise because it can help maintain your cardiovascular risk at a low risk while
benefiting the physical health of the individual.
o The systolic pressure of the subjects decreased drastically in the short-term of two
weeks for both MICT and HIIT programs where it shows the importance of
maintaining an active life.
 Another study was mentioned in this article where they were testing it had the same
mechanism but with a different method of training. It has been shown in the other study
that HIIT and MICT programs also improved systolic blood pressure.
