Methods: Four electronic databases were searched for studies through August 31, 2021. Eligibility criteria include randomized controlled trials of home-based HIIT in adult healthy people and patients. Comparisons were made between non-exercise controls, laboratory-based HIIT, and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT).
