Background:
High intensity interval training (HIIT) confers superior cardiovascular health benefits to moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) in adults and may be efficacious for improving diminished cardiac function in obese children. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of HIIT, MICT and nutrition advice interventions on resting left ventricular (LV) peak systolic tissue velocity (S') in obese children.
Methods:
Ninety-nine obese children were randomised into one of three 12-week interventions, 1) HIIT [n = 33, 4 × 4 min bouts at 85-95% maximum heart rate (HRmax), 3 times/week] and nutrition advice, 2) MICT [n = 32, 44 min at 60-70% HRmax, 3 times/week] and nutrition advice, and 3) nutrition advice only (nutrition) [n = 34].
Results:
Twelve weeks of HIIT and MICT were equally efficacious, but superior to nutrition, for normalising resting LV S' in children with obesity (estimated mean difference 1.0 cm/s, 95% confidence interval 0.5 to 1.6 cm/s, P < 0.001; estimated mean difference 0.7 cm/s, 95% confidence interval 0.2 to 1.3 cm/s, P = 0.010, respectively).
Conclusions:
Twelve weeks of HIIT and MICT were superior to nutrition advice only for improving resting LV systolic function in obese children.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
