The Claim
Does hydraulic resistance HIIT raise heart rate more than other workouts?
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.
When doing a 30-minute workout on a hydraulic machine with short bursts of maximum effort, your heart beats much faster than when you're lifting weights, running, or biking at a steady pace.
See the scientific wording
During a 30-minute hydraulic resistance system (HRS) high-intensity interval training session, the average heart rate in healthy men reaches 156 ± 9 beats per minute, which is significantly higher than during resistance training (138 ± 16 bpm), treadmill endurance (137 ± 5 bpm), or cycling endurance (138 ± 6 bpm).
What the research says
1 studyThe study had men do a 30-minute intense workout using a hydraulic machine and found their heart rate hit 156 bpm, which was higher than when they lifted weights, ran on a treadmill, or cycled—just like the claim says.
