Circulating Levels

Introduction: Anthracycline-based chemotherapies are widely used chemotherapeutic agents for treatment of breast cancers, but these agents increase inflammation in the cardiovascular system. Circulating levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) have been validated to assess the degree of inflammation in adults. While exercise has been shown to reduce hsCRP in patients with coronary artery diseases, it is unclear whether high intensity interval training (HIIT) reduces hsCRP in breast cancer patients undergoing anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that a group of participants that performed the 8-week HIIT intervention would demonstrate maintenance in hsCRP level compared to a group of participants that did not perform HIIT. Methods: Thirty breast cancer survivors were randomized to either the HIIT or control (CON) group. The HIIT group participated in 8 weeks of supervised exercise sessions 3 times/week. The CON group was asked to maintain their current activity levels. Fasting (≥ 12 hours) blood (∽30 cc) was obtained from the antecubital and hsCRP was measured by immunoturbidimetric assay. A paired t-test and 2x2 (group x time) repeated measures ANOVA were used to evaluate changes in hsCRP. Results: At baseline, there were no group differences in age (46.9±9.8 yrs), BMI (31.0±7.5 kg/m 2 ) and blood pressure (123.4 ± 16.8/72.3.9 ± 5.6 mmHg; p>0.05). Following 8 weeks, hsCRP did not significantly change (7.1±2.7 to 8.7±3.5 mg/L) in the HIIT group (p=0.21). However, there was a significant within-group change in the CON group (6.0±3.2 to 10.9.1±2.3 mg/L; p=0.02). There was no group x time interaction following 8 weeks (P=0.93). Conclusions: An 8-week HIIT intervention maintained circulating levels of hsCRP in breast cancer patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Future large randomized controlled trials are warranted to investigate the impact of exercise-induced reductions in inflammation while undergoing anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

High Intensity Interval

This study was to determine the effects of five-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, blood glucose, and relevant systemic hormones when compared to moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in overweight and obese young women.Methods. Eighteen subjects completed 20 sessions of HIIT or MICT for five weeks. HIIT involved 60 × 8 s cycling at ~90% of peak oxygen consumption (V˙O2peak) interspersed with 12 s recovery, whereas MICT involved 40-minute continuous cycling at 65% ofV˙O2peak.V˙O2peak, body composition, blood glucose, and fasting serum hormones, including leptin, growth hormone, testosterone, cortisol, and fibroblast growth factor 21, were measured before and after training.Results. Both exercise groups achieved significant improvements inV˙O2peak(+7.9% in HIIT versus +11.7% in MICT) and peak power output (+13.8% in HIIT versus +21.9% in MICT) despite no training effects on body composition or the relevant systemic hormones. Blood glucose tended to be decreased after the intervention (p=0.062). The rating of perceived exertion in MICT was higher than that in HIIT (p=0.042).Conclusion. Compared with MICT, short-term HIIT is more time-efficient and is perceived as being easier for improving cardiorespiratory fitness and fasting blood glucose for overweight and obese young women.

High Intensity Interval

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is emerging as a safe and effective means to combat chronic diseases. The objective of this work was to perform a systematic review of the effect of HIIT interventions in an aging population. Three electronic databases were searched for randomized trials comparing the effect of HIIT and moderate-intensity continuous training in older adults. After a thorough screening process, 15 articles were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria. All studies expressed a comparable or superior effect of HIIT in cardiorespiratory fitness measures. No studies reported a lessened effect of HIIT in comparison with moderate-intensity continuous training. This systematic review demonstrates that HIIT is a useful exercise regimen, which can be used in older adults to increase cardiorespiratory fitness. More research is needed to determine the effects of HIIT in an aging, predominately female population.
