The Claim
In obese young women, 12 weeks of sprint interval training induces an increase in epinephrine secretion following exercise, whereas no such increase is observed prior to the training period.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
After 12 weeks of sprint interval training, obese young women produce more epinephrine after exercise than they did before starting the training.
See the scientific wording
In obese young women, sprint interval training (SIT) initially fails to elevate epinephrine after exercise but begins to do so after 12 weeks of training, suggesting that long-term adaptation to HIIT may restore or enhance lipolytic hormone responsiveness in obesity.
When obese young women first do sprint training, their bodies don't release enough epinephrine to trigger fat breakdown. After 12 weeks of training, their nervous system becomes more active during exercise, causing the adrenal glands to release more epinephrine, and their fat cells become more responsive to that hormone, so even the same amount of epinephrine breaks down more fat.
What the research says
1 studyObese young women who did short, all-out sprints didn’t release more of the fat-burning hormone epinephrine at first, but after 12 weeks of doing the sprints, their bodies started releasing more — showing their metabolism got better at responding to exercise over time.
