This paper presents the morphometric responses and training performance outcomes of a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocol in a Sprague-Dawley rat model of diet-induced obesity. The purpose of this protocol was to maximize exercise intensity and determine the physiologic responses to HIIT in lean and obese rats.
