The inclusion criteria required glucose and insulin resistance markers to be evaluated pre- and post-intervention among adults who were not trained athletes.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>As a result, twenty studies were included, and meta-analyses were conducted using sixteen studies employing HIIT protocols. Compared with CON, LV-HIIT with reduced intensity and extended interval duration significantly improved fasting glucose (FPG) (mean difference (MD) in mg/dL=-16.63; 95% confidence interval (CI): -25.30 to -7.96; p<0.001) and HbA1c (MD=-0.70; 95% CI: -1.10 to -0.29; p<0.001). Greater improvements were found in participants who were overweight/obese or having type 2 diabetes (T2D). FPG decreased with every additional second of interval duration (β;=-0.10; 95% CI: -0.19 to -0.00; p=0.046).

HOMA-IR also decreased with every additional minute of weekly interval duration (β;=-0.06; 95%CI: -0.08 to -0.04; p<0.001). Compared with MICT, LV-HIIT was more effective in improving insulin sensitivity (SMD=-0.40; 95%CI: -0.70 to -0.09; p=0.01), but there were no differences in FPG, FPI, HbA1c or HOMA-IR (p>0.05).

Greater improvements were found in individuals with overweight/obesity or T2D in protocols with longer intervals or accumulated interval duration per session/week. More large-scale, randomized controlled studies with similar intervention protocols in a wide range of population are warranted to confirm these important results.</p><p><strong>Systematic review registration: </strong>https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42024516594.</p>","PeriodicalId":12447,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Endocrinology","volume":"16 ","pages":"1481200"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11798773/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143364179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
