![]() ![]() High-intensity interval training and steady-state cardio are similarly effective, they say, and both elicit “modest improvements, and of similar magnitude, in body fat levels and waist circumference in overweight and obese adults.” After crunching the numbers, they found “no evidence to support the superiority of either high-intensity interval training or steady-state cardio for body fat reduction.”Ī separate research team came to much the same conclusion after doing their own analysis of the research. ![]() The researchers pooled the results of 28 trials, covering almost 1000 people. As a result, you’re left with a conclusion that’s more reliable than anything that could have been drawn from each of the smaller studies. Instead of lots of small experiments, you end up with one big experiment, conducted on lots of people. Ī meta-analysis involves pooling the results from multiple trials on the same subject. In 2017, a team of Australian scientists published a meta-analysis on the subject of HIIT, steady-state cardio, and fat loss. ![]() Steady-State Cardio or HIIT: Which Is Better? Here’s a closer look at the science and what it all means for you. However, the size of afterburn effect, as well as the extent to which it contributes to fat loss, have been exaggerated. The afterburn effect is certainly real in the sense that exercise (especially intense exercise, such as HIIT) can affect your metabolism for a number of hours after the workout is over. ![]()
