High-Intensity Interval Training for Older Adults
Sponsor: Creighton University
Summary
This study will examine differences in a 12 week high-intensity interval training regimen. The Total Body HIIT program incorporates a resistance (circuit) and an anaerobic (bike) component in older adults. The specific objectives focus on examining cardiovascular endurance, neuromuscular function, and muscle architecture.

Total Body HIIT Program
One repetition maximums (1RM) and body weight (BW) will be recorded at prior to and at 6 weeks to tailor the program. The circuit will be completed twice during each session and the exercises will include: squats, medicine ball forward chest throws, medicine ball overhead throw, farmers walk, seated shoulder press, seated row sitting on a fitness ball, aerobic riser step-ups, foot ladder drills, and twisting medicine ball passes. The anaerobic component will be completed once during a session and on a stationary bike. The progression of exercise:rest seconds will be 20:40 for Weeks 1-4, 30:30 for Weeks 5-8, and 40:20 for Weeks 9-12. Each session will start with a 5 minute warm up and end with a 5-minute cool down. Participants will be given real time feedback about heart rate (goal range: 85-95% HRmax) and exercise movement velocity. Participants will be encouraged to surpass the velocity of the previous repetition.
