HIIT vs MICT – Does Interval Training Belong in Later Life?
High-Intensity Interval Training versus Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training — a debate that dominates exercise science. But what does this mean for older adults? Is HIITtoo demanding, or is it one of the most time-efficient ways to improve health? In this episode, we examine the evidence, risks, benefits, and clinical decision-making around these two dominant models.

Hosted by Dr. Tim Henwood and Associate Professor Justin Keogh , two leading experts who walk the talk (and lift the weights), this series dives into the science, stories, and strategies behind helping older adults stay strong, independent, and thriving. With decades of experience - and just as many reps under the bar - Tim and Justin explore how progressive resistance training is not just safe, but essential, at every age.
