HIIT turns Fat Men into Fit Men

Take 10 sedentary & overweight/obese men.

Weigh them, measure them, test their blood.

Throw them onto a electromagnetically braked cycle ergometer (exercise bike).

Subject them to 2 weeks / 6 sessions of 4 to 6 repeats of 30-second Wingate aerobic sprints with a 4 1/2 minute recovery period.
