Resumo

Objective The goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on anthropometric variables in adults afflicted with overweight or obesity and to compare the effects with those of moderate-intensity continuous training. Methods A computer literature search was performed for HIIT intervention studies that evaluated anthropometric variables in adults afflicted with overweight or obesity. Results Of the 857 articles retrieved in the electronic search, 48 met the inclusion criteria. The analyses demonstrated that HIIT was effective in decreasing body mass (-1.45 kg {[}95% CI: -1.85 to -1.05 kg]), body mass index (-0.44 kg m(-2) {[}95% CI: -0.59 to -0.30 kg m(-2)]), waist circumference (-2.3 cm {[}95% CI: -3.1 to -1.4 cm]), waist/hip ratio (-0.01 {[}95% CI: -0.02 to -0.00]), body fat percentage (-1.29% {[}95% CI: -1.70% to -0.87%]) and abdominal visceral fat area (-6.83 cm(2) {[}95% CI: -11.95 to -1.71 cm(2)]). When considering equalization between the two methods (energy expenditure or workload matched), no differences were found in any measure except body mass (for which HIIT was superior). Conclusions High-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training results were similar, particularly when equalization between the two methods was considered. Thus, HIIT can be used as a secondary method for the treatment of obesity in adults. (AU)
