High-Intensity Interval Training Neurology

Meaning

High-Intensity Interval Training Neurology describes the profound and beneficial impact of short, repeated bouts of near-maximal effort exercise interspersed with recovery periods on the structure and function of the central nervous system. This specific training modality is clinically recognized for its capacity to acutely and chronically modulate neurotrophic factors, neurotransmitter synthesis, and cerebral blood flow. The neurological effects of HIIT are critical for enhancing cognitive function, improving stress resilience, and promoting neuroplasticity, which contributes significantly to brain longevity.
