Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the impact of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals. Sedentary lifestyles are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, highlighting the need for effective interventions to improve cardiovascular health in this population. HIIT has gained popularity as an efficient and time-effective exercise regimen that has shown promising results in improving cardiovascular fitness. However, the specific effects of HIIT on cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals remain unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a structured HIIT program on cardiovascular health parameters, including aerobic capacity, blood pressure, lipid profile, and cardiac function, in sedentary individuals. A comprehensive literature review will be conducted to establish the current understanding of HIIT and its effects on cardiovascular health. The research methodology will involve recruiting sedentary individuals and implementing a supervised HIIT program over a specified duration. The findings from this study will be discussed in detail, analyzing the changes in cardiovascular health parameters pre- and post-HIIT intervention. The implications of these results will be considered in the context of promoting cardiovascular health and preventing cardiovascular diseases in sedentary individuals. The limitations of the study, as well as recommendations for future research, will also be outlined. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of research on HIIT and cardiovascular health by focusing on sedentary individuals, a population at high risk of cardiovascular diseases. The results of this study may have important implications for healthcare professionals, exercise practitioners, and policymakers in designing effective interventions to improve cardiovascular health in sedentary individuals.
