Thanh Hương (Theo Havard Health) |

Intermittent exercise will help improve cardiovascular function, reduce the risk of disease and save time while exercising.

Maintaining cardiovascular health is especially important for people who practice sports regularly. Accordingly, interval training has received attention for the optimal results it brings.

This exercise method not only helps improve heart function but also supports blood pressure control, reduces excess fat and improves endurance.

Improve cardiovascular function

Intermittent exercise will help increase the heart's ability to pump blood, improve blood circulation and increase the body's efficiency in using oxygen. If you exercise properly, it will help the body not get too tired, as well as improve overall cardiovascular health.

Reduce blood pressure

Some studies show that intermittent exercise can help reduce blood pressure as well as improve the function of blood vessels, especially the endothelial layer. This exercise will help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease optimally.

Support weight control

Interval training not only helps burn calories effectively but also boosts metabolism after exercise to help reduce excess fat, especially belly fat. This helps control weight and reduce the risk of obesity-related diseases.

Saves practice time

One of the outstanding advantages of intermittent exercise is its short-term effectiveness. With only 15 - 20 minutes of exercise, this method can bring benefits equivalent to or superior to traditional exercises.
