Physiological aspects and energetic contribution in 20s:10s high-intensity interval exercise at different intensities.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One of the most popular high-intensity interval exercises is the called "Tabata Protocol". However, most investigations have limitations in describing the work intensity, and this fact appears to be due to the protocol unfeasibility. Furthermore, the physiological demands and energetic contribution during this kind of exercise remain unclear.

Methods

Eight physically active students (21.8 ± 3.7 years) and eight well-trained cycling athletes (27.8 ± 6.4 years) were enrolled. In the first visit, we collected descriptive data and the peak power output (PPO). On the next three visits, in random order, participants performed interval training with the same time structure (effort:rest 20s:10s) but using different intensities (115%, 130%, and 170% of PPO). We collected the number of sprints, power output, oxygen consumption, blood lactate, and heart rate.

Results

The analysis of variance for multivariate test (number of sprints, power output, blood lactate, peak heart rate and percentage of maximal heart rate) showed significant differences between groups (F = 9.62; p = 0.001) and intensities (F = 384.05; p < 0.001), with no interactions (F = 0.94; p = 0.57). All three energetic contributions and intensities were different between protocols. The higher contribution was aerobic, followed by alactic and lactic. The aerobic contribution was higher at 115%PPO, while the alactic system showed higher contribution at 130%PPO. In conclusion, the aerobic system was predominant in the three exercise protocols, and we observed a higher contribution at lower intensities.

Project description:The neurogenic potential of the brain decreases during ageing, whereas the risk of neurodegenerative diseases and stroke rises. This creates a mismatch between the rate of neuron loss and the brain's capacity for replacement. Adult neurogenesis primarily occurs in the subgranular zone (SGZ) and the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ). Exercise enhances SGZ neurogenesis, and we previously showed that V-SVZ neurogenesis is induced by exercise via activation of the lactate receptor HCA1. Here, we investigated how high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and medium-intensity interval training (MIIT) affect neurogenesis in these niches. Wild-type (WT) and HCA1 knockout (KO) mice were randomized to sedentary, HIIT or MIIT (n = 5-8 per group) for 3 weeks. In the SGZ, HIIT increased the density of doublecortin (DCX)-positive cells in WT mice by 85% (5.77±1.76 vs. 3.12±1.54 cells/100 µm, P = 0.013) and KO mice (67% increase; 7.91±2.92 vs. 4.73±1.63 cells/100 µm, P = 0.004). MIIT did not alter the density of DCX-positive cells in either genotype. HIIT increased the density of Ki-67-positive cells only in KO mice (P = 0.038), whereas no differences in nestin-positive cells were observed. In the V-SVZ, HIIT increased the density of DCX-positive cells in WT mice by 155% (117.79±39.72 vs. 46.25±19.96 cells/100 µm, P < 0.001) and MIIT increased the density of DCX-positive cells by 80% (83.26±39.48 vs. 46.25±19.96 cells/100µm, P = 0.027). No exercise-induced changes were observed in KO mice. Similar patterns were noted for Ki-67 positive and DCX/Ki-67 double-positive cells in the V-SVZ. These findings suggest that HIIT enhances neurogenesis more robustly than MIIT in both niches, with HCA1 playing a crucial role in V-SVZ neurogenesis. KEY POINTS: The neurogenic potential of the brain decreases with age, whereas the risk of neurodegenerative diseases and stroke increases, highlighting a mismatch between neuronal loss and replacement capacity. Exercise enhances neurogenesis in both the subgranular zone and the ventricular-subventricular zone. High-intensity interval exercise is more effective than medium-intensity interval exercise at promoting neurogenesis in both the subgranular zone and the ventricular-subventricular zone of wild-type mice. The enhancement of neurogenesis in the ventricular-subventricular zone is dependent on the activation of the HCA1 receptor, as evidenced by the ability of medium- and high-intensity interval exercise to induce neurogenesis in wild-type mice and the lack of this effect in HCA1 knockout mice. By contrast, neurogenesis in the subgranular zone is independent on the activation of the HCA1 receptor, highlighting that neurogenesis in the two major neurogenic niches are regulated differently.

Project description:High-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) has been reported to be more beneficial for physical adaptation than low-to-moderate exercise intensity. Recently, it is becoming increasingly evident that circulating miRNAs (c-miRNAs) may distinguish between specific stress signals imposed by variations in the duration, modality, and type of exercise. The aim of this study is to investigate whether or not HIIE is superior to vigorous-intensity continuous exercise (VICE), which is contributing to develop effective fitness assessment. Twenty-six young males were enrolled, and plasma samples were collected prior to exercise and immediately after HIIE or distance-matched VICE. The miRNA level profiles in HIIE were initially determined using TaqMan Low Density Array (TLDA). And the differentially miRNAs levels were validated by stem-loop quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). Furthermore, these selective c-miRNAs were measured for VICE. Our results showed that some muscle-related miRNAs levels in the plasma, such as miR-1, miR-133a, miR-133b, and miR-206 significantly increased following HIIE or VICE compared to those at rest (P < 0.05), and there was only a significant reduction in miR-1 level for HIIE compared to VICE (P < 0.05), while no significant differences were observed for other muscle-related miRNAs between both exercises (P > 0.05). In addition, some tissue-related or unknown original miRNA levels, such as miR-485-5p, miR-509-5p, miR-517a, miR-518f, miR-520f, miR-522, miR-553, and miR-888, also significantly increased (P < 0.05) in both exercises compared to rest. However, no significant differences were found between both exercises (P > 0.05). Overall, endurance exercise assessed in this study both led to significant increases in selective c-miRNAs of comparable magnitude, suggesting that both types of endurance exercise have general stress processes. Accordingly, the similar responses to both acute exercises likely indicate both exercises can be used interchangeably. Further work is needed to reveal the functional significance and signaling mechanisms behind changes in c-miRNA turnover during exercise.

Project description:This study analyzed whether 100- and 200-m interval training (IT) in swimming differed regarding temporal, perceptual, and physiological responses. The IT was performed at maximal aerobic velocity (MAV) until exhaustion and time spent near to maximalVO2 peak oxygen uptake (⩒O2peak), total time limit (tLim), peak blood lactate [La-] peak, ⩒O2 kinetics (⩒O2K), and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were compared between protocols. Twelve swimmers (seven males 16.1 ± 1.1 and five females 14.2 ± 1 years) completed a discontinuous incremental step test for the second ventilatory threshold (VT2), ⩒O2peak, and MAV assessment. The swimmers subsequently completed two IT protocols at MAV with 100- and 200-m bouts to determine the maximal ⩒O2 (peak-⩒O2) and time spent ≥VT2, 90, and 95% of ⩒O2peak for the entire protocols (IT100 and IT200) and during the first 800-m of each protocol (IT8x100 and IT4x200). A portable apparatus (K4b2) sampled gas exchange through a snorkel and an underwater led signal controlled the velocity. RPE was also recorded. The Peak-⩒O2 attained during IT8x100 and IT4x200 (57.3 ± 4.9 vs. 57.2 ± 4.6 ml·kg-1·min-1) were not different between protocols (p = 0.98) nor to ⩒O2peak (59.2 ± 4.2 ml·kg-1·min-1, p = 0.37). The time constant of ⩒O2K (24.9 ± 8.4 vs. 25.1 ± 6.3-s, p = 0.67) and [La-] peak (7.9 ± 3.4 and 8.7 ± 1.5 mmol·L-1, p = 0.15) also did not differ between IT100 and IT200. The time spent ≥VT2, 90, and 95%⩒O2peak were also not different between IT8x100 and IT4x200 (p = 0.93, 0.63, and 1.00, respectively). The RPE for IT8x100 was lower than that for IT4x200 (7.62 ± 2 vs. 9.5 ± 0.7, p = 0.01). Both protocols are considered suitable for aerobic power enhancement, since ⩒O2peak was attained with similar ⩒O2K and sustained with no differences in tLim. However, the fact that only the RPE differed between the IT protocols suggested that coaches should consider that nx100-m/15-s is perceived as less difficult to perform compared with nx200-m/30-s for the first 800-m when managing the best strategy to be implemented for aerobic power training.
