Abstract
Objective: The Study aimed to compare between the effect of high-intensity interval training versus low-intensity continuous training on physical fitness among overweight adult. Methods: Thirty overweight participants from both genders, the age ranged from 20 to 30 years old, were recruited from Horus University in New Damietta city participated in the study for 8 weeks 3 sessions / week and were randomly divided into two groups of equal numbers (A&B): group A: subjects in this group participated in sixty-minutes high- intensity interval training exercises 3 times per week for a period of 2 successive months. group B: subjects in this group participated in 60-minutes low-intensity continuous training exercises three times per week for a period of 2 successive months. All subjects were assessed by weight and height scale (BMI), pulse oximeter, the waist circumference (WC), waist hip ratio (WHR), bioelectrical impedance analysis, a mercury sphygmomanometer, VO2 max which estimated by the 20-meter shuttle run test (20 m SRT). Results: Pre and post-study comparisons demonstrated statistically significant improvements in all measured variables in both groups (P0.05), with a higher percentage of improvement in favor of group A.Conclusion: Both high intensity interval training and low intensity continuous training have an effect on improving VO2max and reducing fat mass percentage with higher percentage of improvement in favor to group A
