Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the effects of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of HIIT on various cardiovascular parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels in individuals with a sedentary lifestyle. Sedentary behavior is a growing concern due to its association with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. HIIT has gained popularity as an effective exercise regimen that offers time-efficient benefits compared to traditional moderate-intensity continuous training. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, outlining the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review covering ten key studies related to HIIT and cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals. This section explores the existing research on the topic, highlighting the findings and gaps in the literature. Chapter Three details the research methodology employed in this study, including the research design, participant selection criteria, HIIT protocol, data collection methods, variables measured, statistical analysis techniques, and ethical considerations. Chapter Four presents a detailed discussion of the findings obtained from the study. The results are analyzed and interpreted in relation to the research objectives, providing insights into the effects of HIIT on cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals. Chapter Five concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, discussing their implications, and suggesting recommendations for future research. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on the benefits of HIIT for improving cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals, highlighting the importance of regular physical activity in preventing cardiovascular diseases.
