Project Abstract

Abstract
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has gained popularity in recent years as an effective exercise strategy for improving cardiovascular health. This research project aims to investigate the impact of HIIT on cardiovascular health in sedentary adults. The study will involve a randomized controlled trial with sedentary adults aged 30-50 years old who will undergo a 12-week HIIT intervention. The primary outcomes of interest include changes in blood pressure, heart rate, lipid profile, and aerobic fitness levels.

The findings from this study will provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of incorporating HIIT into exercise programs for improving cardiovascular health outcomes. Recommendations for future research and implications for clinical practice will be discussed based on the results of this study.
