Science-Based Body Weight Interval Training for Clinical Populations

1 CEC

Presented by Gabriella Bellissimo

Bodyweight exercise and high-intensity interval training stand out as prominent fitness trends worldwide. Notably, the fusion of these two approaches, known as bodyweight interval training (BW-IT), has garnered significant attention, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This lecture will commence with an analysis of the defining features of BW-IT, rooted in scientific findings. Subsequently, the lecture will consist of six customized workouts designed for specific clinical demographics, with a primary focus on adults dealing with obesity and individuals living with or susceptible to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Learning Objectives:

1. Gain insights into the adaptable traits of bodyweight interval training suitable for crafting exercise prescriptions in clinical settings.
2. Acquire knowledge about techniques for adjusting and advancing bodyweight interval training to suit clinical populations.
3. Apply bodyweight interval training in the context of adults who are either vulnerable to or managing chronic diseases.
