High-intensity interval exercise is a type of interval training exercise. It incorporates several rounds that alternate between several minutes of high-intensity movements to significantly increase the heart rate to at least 80% of one's maximum heart rate, followed by short periods of lower-intensity movements. The exercise will be conducted on a computer-monitored cycle ergometer.

Moderate-intensity continuous exercise generally consists of 30-60 min of aerobic exercise at 64-76% peak heart rate, while interval training involves more intense bouts interspersed by recovery periods. The exercise will be conducted on a computer-monitored cycle ergometer.
