Determinants of coronary artery disease, such as endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress, could be attenuated by high-intensity aerobic interval exercise training (HIIT). However, the volume of this type of training is not well established.
To assess the impact of two volumes of HIIT, low (LV-HIIT, <10 min at high intensity) and high (HV-HIIT, >10 min at high intensity), on vascular-endothelial function in individuals after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Clinical trial in 80 AMI patients (58.4 ± 8.3 years, 82.5% men) with three study groups: LV-HIIT ( = 28) and HV-HIIT ( = 28) with two sessions per week for 16 weeks and control group (CG, = 24) with unsupervised physical activity recommendations. Endothelial function (brachial flow-mediated dilation, FMD), atherosclerosis (carotid intima-media thickness ultrasound, cIMT), and levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) as a marker of oxidative stress were determined before and after the intervention period.
After the intervention, in the exercise groups, there was an increase in FMD (LV-HIIT, ↑58.8%; HV-HIIT, ↑94.1%; < 0.001) concurrently with a decrease in cIMT (LV-HIIT, ↓3.0%; HV-HIIT, ↓3.2%; = 0.019) and LDLox (LV-HIIT, ↓5.2%; HV-HIIT, ↓8.9%; < 0.001), with no significant changes in the CG. Furthermore, a significant inverse correlation was observed between ox-LDL and endothelial function related to the volume of HIIT training performed (LV-HIIT: = -0.376, = 0.031; HV-HIIT: = -0.490, < 0.004), with no significance in the CG ( = 0.021, = 0.924).
In post-AMI patients, HIIT may lead to a volume-dependent enhancement in endothelial function, attributed to a decrease in oxidative stress, with added beneficial effects in reducing vascular wall thickness. An LV-HIIT program, with less than 10 min at high intensity per session, has proven enough efficiency to initiate favorable vascular-endothelial adaptations, potentially reducing cardiovascular risk among patients with coronary artery disease.

高强度间歇有氧训练(HIIT)可以减轻冠心病的发病机制,如内皮功能障碍和氧化应激。然而,这种训练的量效关系尚未明确。
评估两种 HIIT 训练量,低强度 HIIT(LV-HIIT,<10 分钟高强度)和高强度 HIIT(HV-HIIT,>10 分钟高强度)对急性心肌梗死(AMI)后血管内皮功能的影响。
这是一项临床试验,共纳入 80 名 AMI 患者(58.4±8.3 岁,82.5%为男性),分为三组:LV-HIIT(n=28)和 HV-HIIT(n=28),每周进行两次训练,共 16 周;对照组(CG,n=24)接受非监督的体育活动建议。在干预前后,通过肱动脉血流介导的舒张功能(FMD)、颈动脉内膜中层厚度超声(cIMT)和氧化型低密度脂蛋白(ox-LDL)水平评估内皮功能、动脉粥样硬化和氧化应激。
干预后,运动组的 FMD 增加(LV-HIIT,↑58.8%;HV-HIIT,↑94.1%;<0.001),同时 cIMT(LV-HIIT,↓3.0%;HV-HIIT,↓3.2%;=0.019)和 LDLox(LV-HIIT,↓5.2%;HV-HIIT,↓8.9%;<0.001)降低,而 CG 组无明显变化。此外,ox-LDL 与 HIIT 训练量呈负相关(LV-HIIT:r=-0.376,p=0.031;HV-HIIT:r=-0.490,p<0.004),而 CG 组无相关性(r=0.021,p=0.924)。
在 AMI 后患者中,HIIT 可能会导致内皮功能的量效依赖性增强,这归因于氧化应激的降低,同时还具有降低血管壁厚度的额外有益作用。一项 LV-HIIT 计划,每次训练的高强度时间少于 10 分钟,已经证明了足够的效率,可以引发有利的血管内皮适应,从而降低冠心病患者的心血管风险。
