Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of six weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on plasmatic levels of cellular adhesion molecules (ICAM-1) and lipid profile in young overweight women. Sixteen young overweight girls voluntarily participated in this study and were randomly divided into two groups: Control group (n=8, age=18.87±.83yr, height =165.25±4.59cm, weight = 70.25±5.38kg) and: Experimental group (n=8, ¬ age=18.62±.55yr, height = 162.43±4.85cm, weight = 69.75±5.09kg) groups. Experimental group participated in three HIIT sessions per week for 6 weeks. Each session consisted of four to six repeatsof sprint running over a 20 m distance with maximum speed and 20–30 seconds of recovery. Fasting blood samples were collected one day before and after exercise protocol. Data were analyzed using independent t and Pearson correlation coefficient tests. The results showed that six weeks of HIIT leads to significant reduction (P = 0.05) of plasmatic levels of ICAM-1 and also improvement of serum lipid profile in young overweight women in the experimental group. Furthermore, Pearson correlation tests showed that there is a moderate correlation between ICAM-1 and lipid profile. Results show that performing HIIT leads to improvement in the levels of cellular adhesion molecules and lipid profiles. Hence, it appears that in terms of time efficiency HIIT is an effective factor for preventing and improving chronic cardiovascular diseases and also improvement of lipids profile in young overweight women.
