High-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves insulin sensitivity and glycaemic control in reproductive-aged women with overweight/obesity with greater time efficiency and adherence than traditional moderate-intensity endurance training.
If you have excess weight and want to improve your blood sugar control without spending hours at the gym, try High-Intensity Interval Training. The protocol described involves three weekly sessions totaling about 109 minutes, mixing short bursts of near-maximal effort with recovery periods. This approach is designed to be more time-efficient than traditional steady-state cardio while delivering comparable or better metabolic benefits for women in your demographic.
HIIT, defined as short periods of intense activity separated by low-intensity breaks, leads to greater improvements in insulin sensitivity, cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition than those induced by continuous moderate-intensity training in subjects at increased risk for cardiometabolic diseases.

More from this paper
- Time-Restricted Eating (TRE), defined as restricting daily energy intake to a window of ≤10 hours, reduces obesity, inflammation, and insulin resistance in humans independent of caloric restriction.Moderate
- The combination of HIIT and TRE may induce synergistic improvements in glycaemic control and insulin sensitivity compared to either intervention alone, though this remains unproven.Weak
