The Claim
In moderately active young adults, sprint interval training and vigorous intensity continuous training result in higher average heart rates and longer durations spent at or above 90% of peak heart rate compared to burpee interval training during 9-minute time-matched exercise sessions, with reported mean heart rates of 171.3 and 166.5 beats per minute versus 150.5 beats per minute, and durations above 90% HRpeak of 133.3 and 110 seconds versus 10 seconds, respectively.
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.
Sprint and hard steady workouts get your heart pumping faster and keep it near maximum longer than burpee workouts in young, somewhat active people — at least during 9-minute sessions.
See the scientific wording
Sprint interval training and vigorous intensity continuous training elicit higher average heart rate and longer time spent at or above 90% of peak heart rate compared to burpee interval training in moderately active young adults during 9-minute time-matched sessions, with mean heart rates of 171.3 and 166.5 vs. 150.5 beats per minute and durations of 133.3 and 110 seconds above 90% HRpeak vs. 10 seconds.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that sprint and continuous intense training raised heart rates more and kept them high longer than burpee training, just like the claim says.
