But
before you cancel all of your cardio sessions to
high -
intensity, maximum -
effort training, remember that this type of exercise isn't without its risks, such as injury and overtraining fatigue.
Interval training provides the most long lasting benefits, so try mixing up your training into
high -
intensity segments where you do the chosen activity at maximum
effort (for example, running, swimming, cycling or stair climbing) followed by a period where you back off, reduce
intensity and catch your breath
before upping the ante again.
It decreases perceived
effort (makes exercise feel easier), makes you more resistant to fatigue, and especially with
high -
intensity stuff like sprinting and cycling, increases power output and the number of reps you can perform
before failing, and last but not least, boosts strength and muscle endurance.
