Abstract
This thesis is comprised of a series of three independent, but related studies of sedentary individuals performing high intensity intermittent exercise of various formats and modes. The three studies resulted in four research articles. High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been proposed as a format of exercise to improve exercise compliance in sedentary individuals, thereby providing positive health effects including improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). The recovery format (active versus passive recovery) and mode (running versus cycling) of HIIT are expected to modulate the physiological responses and perceptual sensations that occur during HIIT. There has been no direct comparison, in sedentary individuals, of the effect of HIIT sessions of varying recovery format and exercise mode on local oxygen utilisation, a potential primary stimulus for increasing CRF. Furthermore, blood pressure (BP) and enjoyment, which have implications for safety and adherence to exercise, have not been compared under these experiment conditions. Additionally, HIIT can be as effective, or more effective, than continuous moderate intensity exercise (CMIE) at improving CRF. There has been no direct comparison, in sedentary individuals, of the effect of a session of HIIT to a work-matched session of CMIE on local oxygen utilisation, BP and enjoyment.
