HIIT2SITLess Trial Summary

This trial will study if taking short breaks every 30 minutes to do high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercises can improve brain health in older adults. The study will compare the effects of HIIT

Who is the study for?

This trial is for cognitively normal older adults interested in improving brain health. Participants should be able to sit for long periods and perform both high-intensity and light-intensity exercises. Specific inclusion or exclusion criteria are not provided, but typically these would relate to age, mobility, cognitive baseline status, and the absence of certain medical conditions.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing if taking breaks from sitting with either high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or light-intensity interval training (LIIT) affects brain function in older adults. It will compare the effects of short HIIT versus LIIT breaks on mental performance after sitting for extended times.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include typical exercise-related risks such as muscle soreness, fatigue, or strain injuries. High intensity workouts could also pose cardiovascular stress especially in individuals with underlying heart conditions.
