ABSTRACT
The cerebral blood flow response to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) remains unclear. HIIT induces surges in mean arterial pressure (MAP), which could be transmitted to the brain, especially early after exercise onset. The aim of this study was to describe regional cerebral blood velocity changes during and following 30 s of high-intensity exercise. Ten women (age 27 ± 6 years; VO2max 48.6 ± 3.8 ml·kg·min-1 ) cycled for 30 s at the workload reached at VË O2max followed by 3min of passive recovery. Middle (MCAvmean ) and posterior cerebral artery mean blood velocities (PCAvmean ; transcranial Doppler ultrasound), MAP (finger photoplethysmography), and end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PET CO2 ; gaz analyzer) were measured. MCAvmean (+19 ± 10%) and PCAvmean (+21 ± 14%) increased early after exercise onset, returning toward baseline values afterward. MAP increased throughout exercise (p < .0001). PET CO2 initially decreased by 3 ± 2 mmHg (p < .0001) before returning to baseline values at end-exercise. During recovery, MCAvmean (+43 ± 15%), PCAvmean (+42 ± 15%), and PET CO2 (+11 ± 3 mmHg; p < .0001) increased. In young fit women, cerebral blood velocity quickly increases at the onset of a 30-s exercise performed at maximal workload, before returning to baseline values through the end of the exercise. During recovery, cerebral blood velocity augments in both arteries, along with PET CO2 .
