2. HIIT Influences Aging at Cellular Level

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) influences the aging process at the cellular level. As you age, the mitochondria in your cells work less efficiently. Research shows that HIIT workouts increase the production of the proteins ribosomes use to build more proteins and to power the energy-producing mitochondria. These two organelles are in all cells. By maintaining their function, your body might face the symptoms of aging more slowly, keeping you feeling younger longer.
