As far as people are concerned about the benefits of MICT and HIIT on health status, numerous studies have been conducted to determine the effects of MICT and HIIT on different aspects and parameters. However, to date, information on the comparison of differences in immune responses, bone metabolism markers, antioxidant status and selected physiological parameters between HIIT and MICT in physically inactive adult males in a single study is scarce. Therefore, further research was conducted to in
