The aim of this study was to compare the effects of workload-matched acutemoderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) and high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE)on serum OSM levels on a cycle ergometer in recreationally active, healthy men. Fifteenparticipants participated in both MICE and HIIE sessions. The HIIE session consisted of10 x 1 min intervals at 90% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) separated by a 75-secondactive recovery period at 60 W, whereas the MICE session consisted of a ~21 min exercisesession at 55% of VO2max. Blood samples were collected before (Pre) and immediately after(Post) acute MICE and HIIE sessions. Serum OSM levels were measured by the ELISA method.

Other: Moderate-Intensity Continuous Exercise
15 recreationally active males completed the ~21 min of exercise at 55% of VO2max,
consisting of a 3-minute warm-up and 3-minute cool-down at 60 W.
Other: High-Intensity Interval Exercise
15 recreationally active males performed 10 x 1-minute intervals at 90% of VO2max,
separated by 75 s of active recovery at 60 W, and a final 3-minute cool-down period at 60
W.
