Summary

This study looked at whether a 6-week program of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) could improve physical fitness, heart health, and sleep quality in male university students who sit for more than 8 hours a day. 56 healthy but inactive students took part in a randomized trial. The goal was to see if short, intense exercise sessions can help counteract the negative effects of prolonged sitting.
