ABSTRACT
An extreme protocol including one month of intense exercise (HIIT (high intensity
interval training)) and exclusive
supplement consumption, i.e. no food, was undertaken by one participant, in
order to understand the effects of one month of exercise without eating any
food. The purpose was to acquire some initial data for future studies so that
better exercise programs may be designed for both time-restricting athletic
programs, and individuals who wish to combine fast fat-reduction and the
improvement of their physical form. There was a parallel methodological goal to
examine changes synthetically and not analytically, that is, to compensate for
a gap in literature in regard to the absence of synthetic models. Changes in
the participant (male, 34 y.o.,72
kg, BMI: 22.9) included a 21.20% relative reduction in body fat (3.9% in absolute values), a 2.6% reduction in
body weight coupled with a 1.8% increase in
fat-less mass, a 10% increase in maximum leg extension and a 6% increase in
maximum chest press. Blood creatinine (+56%) and blood urea (+35%), as well as SGOT
(serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase) (+45%), SGPT (Serum Glutamic Pyruvic
Transaminase) (+75%) and Lymphocytes (+45%) were markedly increased. HIIT and exclusive
supplement consumption, intermittent fasting and hypocaloric diet for one month
drastically affected the individual in this case study by drastically improving
his physical form, at the cost of worsening important biochemical markers.
