For most athletes, the third interval tends to be where your body and mind accept that you are training hard. It is also a place in time where you can determine if you can complete all intervals. For example, if your eighth interval is 10-12% lower in power than the third interval, ...
When you perform interval training, you will often try to pace yourself through high-intensity efforts that require a high amount of mental power. If you have a goal with your interval training (for example, a time trial), it is much easier to go through the challenging parts of your ...
New studies on the benefits of HIIT make the news on a regular basis. Take, for example, this one from theNovember 2018issue ofAmerican Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.Researchers found that justtwo minutesof sprint interval training (in this case, four 30...

1). When VO2peak was corrected for the number of training sessions attended, the HIIT group displayed a significant increase of 0.63% per session compared to the 0.29% per session increase found for the MCT group. An important safety note is that none of the patients in either HIIT or ...
Fig. 3. Graphical description of an example session (couples). A cut-point of ≥ 90% of maximal HR will be a criterion for satisfactory compliance to high-intensity exercise. HR has become one of the most used outcomes to assess the intensity, and several authors suggest that each interval...
Similarly to HIIT (high-intensity interval training), it involves periods of all-out effort, but the rest periods in sprint interval training are typically longer than those during HIIT. For example, a SIT workout might involve four to five sprints of ten seconds, with a three-minute ...
Sprinting for 30 seconds to a minute and then slowing to a jog until you're ready to go again is a perfect example of interval training. But don't let yourself get too comfortable. Rest just long enough to catch your breath. By doing so, you're enhancing the ability of your heart an...
There is a VERY simple equation to find your personal heart rate zones if you are brand-new to exercise. The formula is the '220-Age' formula. 220 minus your age is calculated to be your maximum heart-rate. For example, if you are a 35 year old male trying to figure out your Aerob...
OK, we've convinced you to give HIIT a shot. Before you jump into your first workout, though, there are some important things to know. For example, more isn't necessarily better. You should only do HIIT two to three days a week max, and never on consecutive days oryou'll risk inju...
