INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that high-intensity interval training causes heart problems in healthy adults?
Unclear. Several studies and reviews report that HIIT improves cardiovascular fitness or is feasible without adverse events in healthy adults, but none directly examines whether HIIT causes heart problems in healthy adults. The evidence only partially addresses the claim and does not establish cardiac harm.
