Weekly frequency of school-based HIIT improves adiposity and fitness in children with obesity
max, significant group and time effects were observed, although differences among HIIT frequencies were small. These findings suggest that once-weekly HIIT can improve aerobic fitness, whereas at least two sessions per week may be needed to optimize adiposity-related outcomes in children with obesity.
