Abstract
This study examines the effects of different exercise training methods on heart rate variability (HRV) in obese male college students. Forty obese male college students with a BMI of 28 or higher were selected and divided into an experimental group and a control group. Both groups underwent an eight-week training intervention, with the experimental group engaging in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and the control group in moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT). The SPCS biofeedback system was used to monitor HRV-related indicators after each weekly training session. The results showed that HIIT training increased the time-domain indicators in the experimental group, enhancing heart rate variability and vagal activity, with a more positive impact on HRV from the early stages of training. In contrast, MICT training led to an overall decrease in time-domain indicators in the control group, along with a decline in HRV and vagal activity. Both training methods resulted in a simultaneous decrease in sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity in the frequency domain. The study suggests that HIIT is more effective than MICT in improving the autonomic nervous regulation function of obese college students. It is recommended to incorporate HIIT into weight management plans for obese individuals and to further optimize the training regimen.
