High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a cardiovascular exercise strategy alternating short periods of intense or explosive anaerobic exercise with brief recovery periods. It involves repeated quick bursts of activity performed at maximum or near-maximal effort, interspersed with periods of rest or low-intensity activity. This training protocol is designed to improve athletic capacity and conditioning while efficiently burning calories in a short duration.

    Six months of HIIT improved hippocampal function more than Zone 2 and benefits persisted five years.

    “that high intensity interval training group, they improved their fitness just as well as the Zone 2 group, interestingly, but they had much better improvements in hippocampal function and maintenance of hippocampal structure on an MRI scan. And they maintained that benefit for five years after the six month intervention.”
