Abstract

Introduction: High-intensity interval training with elastic resistance (EL-HIIT) has stood out by promoting cardiorespiratory stimulation in active young people. It is not yet known whether obese individuals will present favorable adaptations in physical performance and body composition. Objective: To evaluate the effects of EL-HIIT on cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and affective response in an obese woman. Methods: Participant with BMI: 34.5 kg/m2, 42 years old, physically inactive. The following were applied before and after 12 weeks of training: Cardiopulmonary treadmill exercise test, bioimpedance, and cardiopulmonary test with elastic resistance. EL-HIIT was applied twice a week for 12 weeks (60s:60s – effort: recovery), at VT2, starting with 6 sets, and progressing to another set/week, until reaching 10 sets. Affective responses and intensity (felling scale, HR, RPE, OMNI-RES) were monitored during and up to 30 min after the session. Results: EL-HIIT increased V̇O2max (21.5%) and V̇O2 of ventilatory threshold 1 (73.5%) and ventilatory threshold 2 (46.6%). Fat-free mass increased (3.9%), and skeletal muscle mass increased (5.9%). The affective response increased during (1st = 1.2; 6th = 1.5; 12th = 2.3) and post-session (1st = 1.7; 6th = 3.0; 12th = 3.5). Conclusion: EL-HIIT applied for 12 weeks in an obese woman promoted substantial improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, a positive affective response in addition to a slight improvement in body composition.
