Description
Kerui Zhu reports a 2026 trial of high-intensity interval training in obese female college students. The study asked whether short, hard exercise sessions improve body shape and mental health. One hundred twenty students took part. They were randomly split into a training group and a control group.
The training group exercised for twelve weeks, three times a week. Each session lasted 30 minutes. Controls received routine health education without structured exercise. Afterwards, the training group showed lower body mass index and body fat. Waist size and waist-to-hip ratio also fell. Depression and anxiety scores dropped, while self-esteem rose. Fitness, blood lipids, fasting glucose, sleep, and quality of life all improved more in the training group.
