Beyond appearance, this problem affects mental and physical health and raises the chance of developing chronic illnesses. A comprehensive strategy involving dietary instruction, lifestyle modifications, and mental health assistance is needed to comprehend and treat overweight. High-intensity exercise (HIE) involves short bursts of intense activity paired with rest periods, enhancing strength, endurance, and metabolic efficiency. It promotes fat burning, improves cardiovascular health, and boosts stamina. Beyond physical benefits, HIE elevates mood, reduces stress, and sharpens focus through the release of endorphins. By fostering resilience and discipline, it empowers individuals to overcome physical and mental challenges. Whether through sprints, circuits, or bodyweight exercises, HIE offers a transformative approach to achieving holistic fitness and vitality. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate effect of high intensity exercise on selected cardiorespiratory parameters among overweight children. Methodology: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect on high intensity exercise on selected cardiorespiratory parameters among overweight children. Forty overweight boys were selected from various schools in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. Among the 40 subjects were divided into one experimental group and one control group with twenty subjects (N=20) in each group. Experimental group I (HIEG=20) underwent high intensity exercise for a period of twelve weeks, for four days in a week, the workout lasted for 60 minutes approximately and Control group II (CG=20) do not undergo any sort of training except their daily routine. The data analysis was conducted using the dependent ‘t’ test, and a confidence level of 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance. Results: The results indicate that there was a significant difference between the high intensity exercise group compared to the control group, suggesting that the high intensity exercise had an impact on the overweight children. Specifically, the children who underwent the high intensity exercise showed improvements in their selected respiratory parameters. Conclusion: The high intensity exercise can significantly improve cardiorespiratory parameters among overweight children. The findings provide evidence that training programs that are tailored to the demands of the high intensity exercise can be more effective in enhancing their cardiorespiratory performance than control group. This study provides valuable insights into the importance of high intensity exercise for improving selected cardiorespiratory parameters, such as namely slow vital capacity, forced vital capacity, maximum voluntary ventilation and expiratory reserve volume in overweight children.
