Summary

This study looked at whether a 6-week program of sprint interval training (short, intense bursts of exercise) could improve cardiovascular fitness in healthy but sedentary adults aged 20 to 25. Forty participants were split into two groups: one did supervised cycling sprints three times a week, while the other continued their usual inactive routine. The main goal was to measure changes in VO2max, a key indicator of heart and lung fitness.
