Abstract
This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of Moderate Intensity Continuous Exercise (MICE), High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Supra-High-Intensity Interval Training (Supra-HIIT), and Interval Circuit Exercise (ICE) on body fat percentage, maximal fat oxidation (MFO), and peak oxygen uptake (VO2max). Ninety male participants, aged 18–30 years, were randomly assigned to four experimental groups (MICE, HIIT, Supra-HIIT, ICE) and one control group. All experimental groups trained 4 days/week for 12 weeks. Body fat percentage, MFO, and VO2max were measured before and after the training period. Paired-Samples t-tests were used for within-group comparisons, while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used for between-group comparisons. If a variable did not meet the assumptions for ANCOVA, change scores (post-test – pre-test) were calculated and analyzed using a One-way ANOVA. The study found that after 12 weeks of training, there was no significant within-group change in body fat percentage. However, when compared to the control group, all training groups showed a significant reduction in body fat percentage (F (4,76)=6.104, p<0.001, η2 =0.243), with no significant differences found among the training groups. Similarly, MFO significantly increased within all training groups after the intervention and was significantly higher than the control group (F (4,76)=7.098, p<0.001, η2 =0.272), with no significant differences observed between the training groups. Furthermore, all four training modalities significantly increased VO2max. Notably, the MICE and ICE groups showed significantly greater improvements in VO2max compared to the HIIT and Supra-HIIT groups (F(4, 76) = 13.96, p <0.001 η2p = .962), and all training groups demonstrated significantly greater VO2maxincreases than the control group.
In conclusion, regular aerobic exercise across all investigated modalities, when performed adequately, improves cardiorespiratory fitness, increases fat oxidation, and reduces body fat, thereby benefiting overall health and preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The choice of training modality should consider individual objectives, available time, and personal preference.
