Abstract:
HIFT Versatility and the minimal need for equipment make it ideal for work environments where it can be implemented without significant interruptions in the daily routine. Therefore, it is concluded that, to date, no studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of HIFT on health markers or physical fitness in the administrative work population, representing a significant opportunity for research and preventive action in this area.

Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
