Enhancing adolescent health: the role of strength and endurance school-based HIIT interventions in physical fitness and cognitive development by José Antonio Pérez-Ramírez, Maria Paula Santos, Maria Paula Santos, Jorge Mota, Jorge Mota, Francisco Tomás González-Fernández, Emilio Villa-González

“…However, global trends indicate how low levels of PA and physical fitness among adolescents are increasing, with over 80% failing to meet the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines of 60 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) daily.MethodsThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of an 8-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) intervention based on strength and endurance trainings protocols during physical education (PE) classes on body composition, physical fitness, and cognitive functions in adolescents aged 13–17 years. A quasi-experimental pre-post design was employed with experimental group (EG) and control group (CG).ResultsResults indicated significant improvements in the EG in cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), strength (hand grip, horizontal jump), and speed-agility (4 × 10 m test). …”
