The Effect of a Home-Based High Intensity Interval Training Intervention on Increasing Exercise Among Low Active Adults
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a home-based high intensity interval
training intervention on exercise among low active adults (defined as engaging in exercise 90
minutes or less per week). Participants will be randomly assigned to a HIIT-based
intervention or a wait-list control each lasting 12 weeks (participants in the wait-list
control condition will have the option of receiving the HIIT intervention following the 12
weeks).

intervention or a wait-list control each lasting 12 weeks (participants in the wait-list
control condition will have the option of receiving the HIIT intervention following the 12

The intervention will be a 12-week high intensity interval training workout that will consist
of home-based exercise sessions prescribed by the exercise counselor. The exercise sessions
will be based on exercises the participant can confidentially engage in (regular push-ups vs.
knee push-ups vs. wall push-ups). The goal will be to engage in three exercise sessions per
week. The participants will receive weekly telephone calls during the first month and
bi-weekly calls during months 2 and 3. The exercise counselor will also engage in dialogue
that will motivate the participant to exercise.
