Acute effects of high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training on left ventricular function in women with uncomplicated obesity

Obesity is associated with subclinical impairments in cardiac function. Aerobic exercise has positive effects on cardiac-related parameters. However, different exercise intensities may elicit distinct acute responses, leading to chronic adaptations. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the acute effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on left ventricle (LV) function in women with uncomplicated obesity. Fifteen women performed a bout of HIIT (4 × 4-min at 85–95
