In this study, they looked at the effects of 2 x (2 x 1) minute bouts of HIIT (cycling) with 75 secs breaks; versus work-matched (ie the same overall physical output) moderate-intensity cardio...

Accumulating exercise and postprandial health in adolescents

Abstract
Purpose
To examine the influence of exercise intensity on postprandial health outcomes in adolescents when exercise is accumulated throughout the day.
Methods
19 adolescents (9 male, 13.7 ± 0.4 years old) completed three 1-day trials in a randomised order: (1) rest (CON); or four bouts of (2) 2 × 1 min cycling at 90% peak power with 75 s recovery (high-intensity interval exercise; HIIE); or (3) cycling at 90% of the gas exchange threshold (moderate-intensity exercise; MIE), which was work-matched to HIIE. Each bout was separated by 2 hours. Participants consumed a high fat milkshake for breakfast and lunch. Postprandial triacylglycerol (TAG), glucose, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and fat oxidation were assessed throughout the day.
Results
There was no effect of trial on total area under the curve (TAUC) for TAG (P = 0.87). TAUC-glucose was lower in HIIE compared to CON (P = 0.03, ES = 0.42) and MIE (P = 0.04, ES = 0.41), with no difference between MIE and CON (P = 0.89, ES = 0.04). Postprandial SBP was lower in HIIE compared to CON (P = 0.04, ES = 0.50) and MIE (P = 0.04, ES = 0.40), but not different between MIE and CON (P = 0.52, ES = 0.11). Resting fat oxidation was increased in HIIE compared to CON (P = 0.01, ES = 0.74) and MIE (P = 0.05, ES = 0.51), with no difference between MIE and CON (P = 0.37, ES = 0.24).
Conclusion
Neither exercise trial attenuated postprandial lipaemia. However, accumulating brief bouts of HIIE, but not MIE, reduced postprandial plasma glucose and SBP, and increased resting fat oxidation in adolescent boys and girls. The intensity of accumulated exercise may therefore have important implications for health outcomes in youth.
