Time-efficient and beneficial strategy: low-volume high-intensity interval training for cardiometabolic health and body composition outcomes in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity—a systematic review and meta-analysis

Key Points

• Cardiometabolic health significantly improves with low-volume high-intensity interval training over traditional methods.
• The analysis included 30 studies, highlighting that children and adolescents benefit from brief, intense exercise sessions.
• This systematic review pooled data from various trials to assess the effects on body composition and health markers.
• These findings suggest open pathways for effective, time-efficient interventions in overweight and obese youth populations.
