Anyway my point is, if you're a good enough self coach to ensure you're
doing maximal efforts then I guess your intervals can be as long as you want and as long as your body allows you to without cardiac arrest

Metabolic resistance training is basically the same thing you
do when
doing classic weightlifting movements such as deadlifts, squats, overhead presses etc, only this time you're
doing them very quickly and at a near -
maximal effort and with very little rest between sets.
High - intensity training is traditionally considered the primary approach for improvements in competitive performance.5 However, some studies demonstrate that lower intensity training also results in fitness improvements in endurance athletes.6, 7 Endurance competitions such as the Ironman triathlon
do not rely on
maximal efforts, but instead are typically much lower, such as 70 — 75 % of VO2max.
Anaerobic Training refers to
doing cardio workouts with intense short intervals of
maximal efforts combined with recovery intervals.
The problem with HIIT is it is tough to
do it every day, or even every other day, it can leave you destroyed for days if you go all out (
maximal effort).
To improve the ability to generate maximum force, the athlete
does need to engage in both maximum
effort lifting (to improve absolute power peak and motor unit synchronization) and dynamic
effort lifting (to improve motor unit synchronization and speed of contraction), the former of which includes
maximal or near
maximal stimulus, the latter of which includes lower weight (~ 50 - 60 % of maximum) moved at maximum velocity.
Intensity can be measured against your
maximal effort (your one - rep max, or 1RM), but many beginning to intermediate lifters simply use this rule: Lift as much as you can lift for the target number of reps, ensuring that your muscles are fatigued by the last rep.. If you can
do more reps than your target range, increase the weight.
