I wonder if early
examples of high intensity training being used is rather different than modern example of doing similar style of training.

of strength
training first, followed by a 20 minute break, and then hit the road for 30 minutes

For
example, due to

of mitochondria and more capillaries feeding into muscle,

intensity.
For
example, improving your anaerobic capacity means that you are able to
train at a
higher intensity for a longer period
of time.
Therefore, using the
example from Step 1, if the length
of your
high intensity interval is 150 seconds, your rest interval would last for 300 seconds if you are a complete beginner, or 150 seconds if you are well
trained, or perhaps 75 seconds if you are very well
trained.
For
example, for fat loss, combining strength
training and
high -
intensity interval
training will give you far better results, faster, than doing long sessions
of steady - state cardio alone.
While
high -
intensity training is often considered the main stimulus for improvements in competitive endurance performance, 5 some studies demonstrate that lower
intensity training results in significant fitness improvements.6, 7 For
example, Esteve - Lanao et al. 7 showed that endurance runners who
trained in a polarized fashion, 8 where 80 %
of their
training time was conducted at a lower
intensity and 20 %
of training time at a
higher intensity, had significant 10 km performance improvements over those
training 35 %
of the time at
higher intensities.
What we can do is be general: if you're an endurance runner, for
example, I can tell you that your
training will probably start to become unhealthy when your
high -
intensity training exceeds around 25 %
of your total volume.
The right combination
of low - and
high -
intensity training is where this game is won, and the amount
of high -
intensity training necessary being quite small — two to four weeks
of interval work, for
example, at the end
of an offseason before the onset
of race season — could be ideal.
Training at 90 % of your 1 rep max will be a higher intensity than compared to training at 60 % of your 1 rep max, as an

of your 1 rep max, as an

However, there's been studies, and
examples, that show that the diminishing returns
of high intensity exercise start at a 20 %

intensity exercise are weight
training, sprinting, and rowing.

example,
high -
intensity interval
training lowers blood pressure, reduces blood lipids, and increases insulin sensitivity, all
of which bode well for heart health.

example weights, running, or
high intensity interval
training), and tracks sleep.
