A Real-World High-Intensity Interval Training Protocol for Cardiorespiratory Fitness Improvement

Despite that growing evidence points out the health benefits of high-intensity interval training, most studies have designed its protocol for well-controlled laboratory environments using high-cost, specialized equipment such as treadmills and cyclometers. The high intensity interval training based on beep training is a feasible, time-efficient, low-cost, and easy-to-implement protocol designed to be practiced in a real world setting. The high intensity interval training based on beep training may help in the prevention and treatment of several cardiometabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.

This is a real world exercise protocol developed to be used not only in scientific research in the field of exercise science, but also to be practiced for apparently healthy individuals. To practice this high intensity interval training protocol, it's essential to take advice from a professional of physical exercise. Begin by familiarizing the participant with the treadmill and mouthpiece used on the metabolic analyzer for at least 24 hours before testing.
