Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) for improvements in body composition in overweight and obese adults. A literature review research was conducted, in which articles published between 2006 and 2019 were used. In the majority of the studies analyzed the high intensity aerobic training improved the body composition, while moderate intensity training changed body composition in only a few studies. Thus concluding that the high intensity aerobic training HIIT it is more effective for losing body fat when compared to the moderate intensity training MICT. Nevertheless, a physical quality evaluation should be made before choosing the intensity of training, always respecting the principles of biological individuality and specificity, aimed at ensuring the safety of the individual.
