Effects of sprint interval training on VO2max and aerobic exercise performance: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Sloth, M., Sloth, D., Overgaard, K., Dalgas, U.·2013·Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports

Abstract

Recently, several studies have examined whether low‐volume sprint interval training (SIT) may improve aerobic and metabolic function. The objective of this study was to systematically review the existing literature regarding the aerobic and metabolic effects of SIT in healthy sedentary or recreationally active adults. A systematic literature search was performed (B ibliotek.dk, SPORTD iscus, E mbase, PED ro, S veMed+, and P ubmed). Meta‐analytical procedures were applied evaluating effects on maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Nineteen unique studies [four randomized controlled trials (RCT s), nine matched‐controlled trials and six noncontrolled studies] were identified, evaluating SIT interventions lasting 2–8 weeks. Strong evidence support improvements of aerobic exercise performance and VO2max following SIT. A meta‐analysis across 13 studies evaluating effects of SIT on VO2max showed a weighted mean effects size of g = 0.63 95% CI (0.39; 0.87) and VO2max increases of 4.2–13.4%. Solid evidence support peripheral adaptations known to increase the oxidative potential of the muscle following SIT, whereas evidence regarding central adaptations was limited and equivocal. Some evidence indicated changes in substrate oxidation at rest and during exercise as well as improved glycemic control and insulin sensitivity following SIT. In conclusion, strong evidence support improvement of aerobic exercise performance and VO2max following SIT, which coincides with peripheral muscular adaptations. Future RCT s on long‐term SIT and underlying mechanisms are warranted.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
