7 Benefits of High-Intensity Interval Training – Benefit 6 Is Not Negligible


HIIT Can Reduce Blood Sugar

HIIT programs lasting less than 12 weeks can reduce blood sugar.

Based on this knowledge, it is likely that high-intensity exercise is especially beneficial for those at risk of type 2 diabetes.
