Summary

Previous research has found improvements in performance (VO2max) and clinical (insulin resistance) with cycling REHIIT. In some populations (e.g. obese, arthritic) aquatic exercise is a safer, more enjoyable option. However, to date, no study has yet examined whether aquatic REHIIT confers the same benefits as land-based REHIIT. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether there are significant differences in clinical and performance outcomes between a land-based and comparable aquatics based Reduced Exertion High Intensity Interval Training (REHIIT) protocol.
