The Role of High-Intensity Interval Training and Strength Training in Cardiovascular Health

<p>The Role of High-Intensity Interval Training and Strength Training in Cardiovascular Health</p> <p>Guest: Amanda R. Bonikowske, Ph.D.</p> <p>Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (<a href='http://twitter.com/DrSteveKopecky'>@DrSteveKopecky</a>)</p> <p>The primary advantage of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) — periods of higher intensity exercise followed by periods of lower intensity exercise in repetition — for cardiorespiratory fitness is peak VO2. HIIT is a more potent stimulus for increasing peak VO2 in a much shorter period of time compared with moderate-intensity continuous training.</p> <p>Joining us today to discuss HIIT is Amanda R. Bonikowske, Ph.D., program director for the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.</p> <p>Specific topics discussed:</p> <ul><li>HIIT explained</li> <li>Variability, guidelines and rest-to-work ratios</li> <li>Benefits over moderate-intensity training</li> <li>The One-Minute Workout</li> <li>Physiology of HIIT</li> <li>Impact on HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure</li> <li>Safety</li> </ul> <p>Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at <a href='https://cveducation.mayo.edu'>https://cveducation.mayo.edu</a> or on Twitter <a href='https://www.twitter.com/mayocliniccv'>@MayoClinicCV</a>.</p> <p>No CME credit offered for this episode.</p> <p>Podcast episode transcript found <a href='https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/zs2qz8/P-MayoCV14_The_Role_of_HIIT_and_ST_in_Cardiovascular_Health_Bonikowske_CC_Transcript_Final8qbus.pdf'>here</a>.</p> <p> </p>
