No results posted yet for this study

Summary

African American women have a high prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes and do not optimally burn fat and carbohydrates in response to changes in these nutrients in their diets. This research project seek to determine if high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise training can help healthy, but inactive, premenopausal, non-diabetic women increase their bodies' use of fat and carbohydrates when provided with a high fat or low fat diets. In this study, investigators will measure the rate at which fat is burned in response to weight maintaining low-fat and high-fat diets and how exercise may affect these responses.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

HIIT involves exercising in blocks of time (typically 4-5 minutes) where a small percentage of the time (typically 1 minute) is spent above the anaerobic (lactate) threshold (the "work interval") followed by the remainder of the time at a sub-anaerobic threshold ("active recovery").
