Why is HIIT Training So Popular Around the World? You'll Understand After Reading These 5 Points
Recently, I often hear my friends talk about HIIT. So why is HIIT so popular? And how does the globally popular HIIT help with fat loss? In fact, HIIT was originally used to train professional athletes, and then it was discovered that HIIT not only excels in calorie consumption and fat loss, but also has a powerful afterburn effect that can continue to burn fat for the body. Today, let's analyze how HIIT became so popular and how it achieves fat loss.
1. HIIT has a higher EPOC than conventional exercise
HIIT is a high-intensity exercise, and the movements are constantly changing. Under the same intensity, compared to unchanging exercises, constantly changing intensities can effectively stimulate the secretion of growth hormone. Although our total energy consumption during exercise has not increased much, the core is the recovery period after exercise, which significantly increases the EPOC. In simple terms, high-intensity interval training can make the effect of fat burning last longer.
2. Fat loss within 72 hours after exercise
So how long does the fat loss effect last after HIIT training? Research shows that the fat loss effect is significant within 72 hours after HIIT training. Compared to ordinary aerobic training, although HIIT may produce a small number of burns during exercise, this powerful burning effect can continue for a long time. In simple terms, it will make you thinner and have a better figure.
3. Can stimulate growth hormone
From a hormonal perspective, HIIT can effectively stimulate the secretion of growth hormone, and growth hormone is also very important for our fitness and shaping. Simply put, the more intense the exercise, the more growth hormone is secreted. Therefore, the higher the training intensity, the more growth hormone can be released.
4. Increased adrenaline secretion
Alternating high and low intensities can also promote the secretion of adrenaline. Adrenaline can also increase fat consumption and overall energy expenditure. Compared to ordinary aerobic exercise, such as low-intensity jogging, high-intensity interval training not only stimulates the secretion of growth hormone for muscle gain and fat loss, but also makes the fat loss effect more persistent.
5. Larger supply of energy
Another advantage of HIIT, and the most important reason for fat loss, is the interval. Researchers conducted an experiment. The project was to compare the energy consumption of two riding exercises with 60 minutes of exercise. One adopted intermittent exercise, and the other adopted intermittent exercise. The results showed that in intermittent exercise, the proportion of fat involved in energy supply was greater, and more fat was burned.
After saying so much, do you know why HIIT is so popular? We always think that constantly exercising can burn our fat, which is a misconception. In fact, HIIT is more efficient for burning fat, and this is also the reason why so many people like it. Of course, HIIT is very cruel for beginners. Beginners often lack core strength, so they cannot complete a complete set of actions. However, don't worry, you can start by doing half of a complete set of actions, and after half a month, you will find that you can easily complete a full set of exercises.
