What is it about?
This study showed that as little as 12 minutes of high intensity interval training per week can result in significant improvements in fatty liver, blood glucose and cardiorespiratory fitness.

Why is it important?
As lack of time remains a significant barrier to physical activity adoption and adherence, this study showed that a novel high intensity exercise intervention, well below current guidelines, was well tolerated and led to significant improvements in the health of adults with type 2 diabetes.
Perspectives
This study was the centrepiece of my PhD work. I had a great time conducting the exercise sessions and getting to know all of the participants.
