Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine thechronic (≥72h post-exercise) effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on postprandial lipaemia and metabolic markers in healthy volunteers. Eight physically active young males (Mean ± SD: age 22 ± 3years, height 1.77 ± 0.07m, body mass 67.7 ± 6.2kg) underwent two 6h mixed-meal tolerance tests and resting vastus lateralis muscle biopsies, before the first- and ≥72h after the final-session of four weeks of HIIT (16 sessions in total; 10x60s bouts of cycling at 90% maximal oxygen uptake [V̇O2max], interspersed by 60s intervals at 45% V̇O2max). Arterialised and deep venous blood samples across the forearm, brachial artery blood flow measurements, and whole-body indirect calorimetry data were obtained before, and at regular intervals for 6h after, consumption of a standardised mixed-meal. The main findings revealed that, when assessed ≥72h post-exercise, postprandial free fatty acid (FFA) uptake across the forearm was increased in response to exercise training (P= 0.025). However, four weeks of HIIT did not alter fasting or postprandial circulating triglyceride (TAG) concentrations, or their tissue uptake, despite a 10.2 ± 7.7% improvement in V̇O2max(P= 0.004). Protein content of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) in the vastus lateralis at rest was reduced by 25 ± 21% (P= 0.01). Collectively, these findings suggest that 4 weeks of HITT enhances postprandial clearance of FFA, when assessed ≥72h post-exercise, but does not confer persisting (training) adaptations in postprandial triglyceridaemia.
