Gain More Muscle Using HIIT
HIIT may help increase muscle mass in some people, in addition to helping with fat loss. However, the muscle mass increase is mostly in the muscles used most, mainly the trunk and legs. It is also important to mention that muscle mass changes are more likely to occur in people who, to begin with, were less involved. Some study has failed to demonstrate higher muscle mass after HIIT programs of inactive individuals. The “gold standard” type of exercise to raise muscle mass continues to be weight training, but high-intensity intervals may assist a small amount of muscle growth.
