Metabolic adaptation
Two weeks of reduced-volume sprint interval training (SIT) did not improve metabolic functioning in sedentary obese men.
Short-term exercise interventions may not be sufficient to induce metabolic changes in sedentary obese individuals.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
Our findings show that 2 weeks of reduced-volume SIT or TER did not elicit any measurable metabolic adaptations in sedentary obese men.
