Abstract

WHO recommendations advise adults to do moderate-intensity physical active for 150-300 minutes (40-60% of Maximum Heart Rate) or vigorous-intensity physical active for 75-150 minutes (60-85% of Maximum Heart Rate) To sustain and enhance fitness levels weeklyHowever, common barriers to exercise include limited time, low motivation, and failure to adhere to established guidelines. HIIT offers a time-efficient solution that provides health benefits equal to or greater than the physical activity recommendations from the WHO. This study aims to evaluate the effect of HIIT on physical fitness, VO2Max, and social status. The methodology involves a literature review using electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest. The findings indicate that HIIT can significantly and efficiently improve physical fitness and positively impact social status and lifestyle.
