I am looking for comparative studies on the divergent effects of different HIIT protocols on cardiovascular and metabolic function. The vast majority of studies compare a single HIIT protocol with moderate continuous exercise protocols (in healthy and diseased subject populations). HIIT protocols which differ in intensity dose and duration (relative to the recovery intervals) should elicit different effects on vascular, cardiac and metabolic function. I am specifically interested in these differences in the context of hypertension. Does anybody work on similar questions or know studies in this area?
There has been a great deal of work within this area over the last 5-10 years. Many are investigating sub-maximal HIIT to reduce the dangers and improve feasibility in sedentary or diseased populations.
This particular article may well be of specific interest. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3371620/ I would also suggest looking a the work by Martin Gibala's group on this area.
Thanks, Alan, for the great reference. I am indeed following Gibala's work. Somehow this paper of Ciolac has slipped through my "radar".
