Summary

This study will aim to evaluate the efficacy of a short-term, home-based, high-intensity interval (HIT) programme in improving cardiovascular fitness in healthy volunteers aged 55 and above, with an age-comparison to younger individuals taking part in the same training regime.

It will also explore the efficacy of time-matched 'static' interventions for improving cardiovascular parameters in middle-aged females and older adults.
