Combined Effects of Fish Oil and High-Intensity Interval Training on Body Composition in Individuals Classified as Overweight: Preliminary Results
Objectives: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a time-efficient exercise that improves body weight and composition. Fish oil, rich in long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), has potent anti-inflammatory and triglyceride-lowering properties; however, the impact of n-3 PUFA supplementation on body weight and composition is controversial in humans. We hypothesized that the addition of n-3 PUFAs will enhance improvements in body composition with a shorter (4 weeks) HIIT program.
