If an individual is just looking to get health benefits then HIIT is perfect. Well trained athletes will also recive benefits in peck performance with a HIIT program design. Effort phases will have to be a lot longer, 30 seonds is not enough to improve athletic performance. Efforts would need to be closer to 2 minutes and at least 90% effort for the duration.

I notice that the studies you've listed have all used untrained participants. What I've read previously (although I don't have any studies to cite, sorry) was that HIT brings about similar (at times superior) short term results in untrained participants but is not very effective in improving the performance of trained athletes. Do you know of any studies comparing HIT to lower intensity training in trained athletes? Have you been involved with any athletes/coaches who have had improvements through HIT? <br /><br />Enjoying the blog!KellyMnoreply@blogger.com
