Abstract
Is it Yet Time to Throw Away the Old Recipe Book and Consider High Intensity Intermittent Exercise in Clinical Populations?
The first epidemiological exercise studies in the 1950’s established a cause-effect relationship between levels of physical inactivity and cardiovascular disease. In the interim other longitudinal, crosssectional, retrospective and prospective analyses have confirmed that physical activity is cardio-protective and also an inverse relationship exists between mortality rates and leisure time physical activity intensity.
