Study on the difference of weight reduction effect between high-intensity interval training and persistent aerobic exercise for female college students

Abstract

Objectives: The aim was to study the effect of persistent aerobic exercise and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on weight loss of female students. Methods: Seventy-two college students were selected as the research subjects, and they were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group. Thirty-six cases in the control group were doing the persistent aerobic exercise and 36 in the observation group were using the HIIT weight loss method. The waist-to-hip ratio, body weight, and body fat were observed and recorded in two groups. Results: The waist-to-hip ratio of female students in the control group was significantly lower than that in the observation group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The weight loss rate of female college students in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The changes in body fat in female college students in the control group were significantly greater than those in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Compared with the continuous aerobic exercise method, the HIIT weight-loss method has a more significant effect on female college students weight loss and has a certain safety.
