Disruption of this autophagy\u2013senescence axis accelerates vascular inflammation, arterial stiffening, and atherogenesis. High-intensity interval training (HIIT), consisting of repeated bouts of near-maximal anaerobic effort with recovery periods, is widely used by both elite and recreational athletes and is increasingly recognized as an effective nonpharmacological strategy to enhance endothelial function, arterial elasticity, and mitochondrial biogenesis. However, excessively intense or poorly structured HIIT, particularly in the absence of adequate recovery or in individuals with underlying cardiometabolic or vascular vulnerability, may induce endothelial stress and promote maladaptive vascular remodelling, including calcification and plaque instability. These considerations underscore the need for refined individualized exercise prescription strategies that balance performance benefits with endothelial protection. Based on these observations, here, we introduce a novel conceptual framework, \u201cshear dose\u2013calibrated HIIT,\u201d designed to understand and define an optimal shear dose capable of maximizing autophagic flux while minimizing SASP activation. Experimental and clinical evidence of HIIT-induced effects on flow-mediated dilation (FMD), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and redox biomarkers is presented, followed by the proposal of a biomarker panel for assessing autophagic flux and cellular senescence in peripheral samples (peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), extracellular vehicles (EVs), and plasma). This integrative approach, which combines vascular mechanotransduction, redox biology, and autophagic signalling, provides a novel translational perspective on how individually calibrated HIIT can promote vascular longevity and reduce cardiometabolic risk associated with aging and metabolic syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27062653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,13]],"date-time":"2026-03-13T17:36:48Z","timestamp":1773423408000},"page":"2653","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Shear-Calibrated High-Intensity Interval Training to Promote Endothelial Autophagy and Delay Vascular Senescence: A Biomarker-Guided Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-9704-869X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amelia","family":"Tero-Vescan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry Department, Faculty of Medicine in English, George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540142 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-3833-0184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ylenia","family":"Pastorello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy and Embryology, George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u015f, 540142 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u015f, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3767-4861","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark","family":"Slevin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Advanced Medical and Pharmaceutical Research, George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540142 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2019","DOI":"10.1038\/s41591-022-01990-1","article-title":"The Global Burden of Disease Study at 30 Years","volume":"28","author":"Murray","year":"2022","journal-title":"Nat.
