The application of high-intensity interval training in college physical education and the improvement of students' physical and mental quality.

PURPOSE

With the increase of employment pressure in modern society and the influence of the long-term static learning mode, the obesity problem of college students is becoming more and more serious, which has become an important factor affecting their physical and mental health. The traditional methods of losing weight, such as dieting, are not effective and have health risks. High-intensity interval training (HIIT), as a new form of exercise, for patients, can significantly boost the basal metabolic rate, thereby aiding in fat burning and facilitating weight management. It also improves cardiopulmonary function, enhances heart health, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and promotes muscle growth, leading to better body composition. Furthermore, the exercise effects of HIIT help release endorphins, alleviating anxiety and depression and thus enhancing overall mental health. For study benefits, practitioners can develop personalized HIIT plans based on patients' health status and abilities, thereby enhancing the specificity and effectiveness of treatment.

METHOD

This paper reviews the status quo of obesity in Chinese college students and its health problems, analyzes the limitations of traditional weight loss methods, and introduces the development history, research status, and mechanism of HIIT in enhancing exercise ability, reducing fat, and relieving depression in detail.

RESULT

This paper further discusses the challenges and improvement strategies of physical education in colleges and universities and puts forward the necessity of introducing HIIT into physical education in colleges and universities and the concrete implementation plan. Finally, the paper summarizes the application effect and future development trend of HIIT in college physical education, aiming at providing useful reference for the reform and development of college physical education.

CONCLUSION

Through the scientific and reasonable introduction of HIIT training programs, it is expected to effectively improve the health of college students and promote their all-round development.
