1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeExercise training requires the careful application of training dose to maximize adaptation while minimizing the risk of illness and injury. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a potent method for improving health and fitness but generates substantial autonomic imbalance. Assuming a supine posture between intervals is a novel strategy that could enhance physiological readiness and training adaptations. This study aimed to establish the safety and feasibility of supine recovery within a HIIT session and explore its acute effects.

methodsFifteen healthy, active males (18-34 years) underwent assessment of cardiopulmonary fitness. Participants completed two identical HIIT treadmill sessions (4 x [3 min at 95% VO

resultsNo severe adverse events occurred with SUPER, and compliance was similar between conditions (100 ± 0%). The change in HRVrec from the CST pre-to-post-HIIT was not different between conditions (p = 0.38); however, HRrec was faster following SUPER (39 ± 7 bpm) vs. STANDard (36 ± 5 bpm). HRV 24 h post-SUPER was also greater (3.56 ± 0.57 ms) compared to STANDard (3.37 ± 0.42 ms). Despite no differences in perceived exertion (p = 0.23) and blood lactate levels (p = 0.35) between SUPER and STANDard, average running HRs were lower (p = 0.04) with SUPER (174 ± 7 bpm) vs. STANDard (176 ± 7 bpm).

conclusionsSupine recovery within HIIT attenuates acute cardioautonomic perturbation and accelerates post-exercise vagal reactivation. SUPER enhances recovery of vagal modulation, potentially improving physiological preparedness 24 h post-HIIT. Further research exploring the chronic effects of SUPER are now warranted.
