High-Intensity Exercise

Meaning

High-Intensity Exercise is defined clinically as physical activity performed at a level requiring a high percentage of an individual’s maximal aerobic capacity, typically involving short bursts of near-maximal effort followed by brief recovery periods. This mode of training is a potent physiological stimulus that transiently induces significant metabolic and hormonal shifts. The brief, intense demand on the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems triggers profound adaptive responses.
