High-Intensity Interval Training is an exercise strategy that is intended to improve performance with short training sessions consisting of 15-30 minutes. High intensity interval training is aimed at building strong endurance. A training session would consist of a warm up followed by 6-10 repetitions of a high intensity exercise done near maximum intensity. High intensity training is meant to push you to do as much as you can in a short period of time. The rest periods between sets are really short, about 10-15 seconds.
Studies have shown that 2.5 hours of high intensity interval training produce similar amounts of biochemical muscle change. High intensity interval training increases the resting metabolic rate for the following 24 hours due to excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, and can improve maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) more effectively than your typical long aerobic exercise.
Long aerobic exercises have been promoted as the best method to reduce fat but high intensity interval training has been proven to burn more fat.High intensity interval training is also known to increase athletic performance. With experienced athletes it can become harder to gain strength, high intensity interval training is a great method of overcoming these obstacles. Improvements in endurance can be achieved through high intensity interval training.
