Moderate Intensity Training

Meaning

Moderate Intensity Training (MIT) is a category of physical exercise characterized by a sustained effort level that noticeably increases heart rate and causes light sweating, typically falling between 50% and 70% of an individual’s maximal heart rate. Clinically, this level of exertion is sufficient to induce beneficial cardiovascular adaptations and significant improvements in metabolic markers without causing excessive physiological stress or systemic cortisol elevation. MIT is a cornerstone of preventative medicine and hormonal wellness protocols due to its high compliance and favorable risk-benefit profile. It is generally defined as an intensity where conversation is possible but requires noticeable effort.
