Abstract
Two thirds of the UK population are overweight/obese (OW/OB) and typically characterised by systemic oxidative stress (OS); resulting from chronically high reactive oxidative species (ROS) formation and a reduced antioxidant status. Oxidative stress, via oxidation of lipids/proteins, is thought to have a key role in cardiovascular disease (CFD) development. Although regular physical activity can counteract exacerbated OS by increasing endogenous antioxidant enzymes, only a minority of the UK population are sufficiently active with a 'lack of time' being the predominant barrier. Modified high intensity interval training (m-HIIT) protocols offer a time-efficient alternative which have been reported to significantly improve a number of cardio-metabolic risk factors in sedentary OW/OB adults. However, there is uncertainty how different m-HIIT protocols transiently modify O in sedentary OW/OB individuals, with no study determining which m-HIIT protocol is optimal to modulate the acute post-exercise OS response.
