Both groups alternated 90 - minute
aerobic sessions with

For years, sports scientists have know that short, hard and
intense intervals give you just as much fitness and performance benefit as long, slow,
aerobic exercise.
Higher intensity
interval exercise uses both
aerobic and anaerobic metabolism (glycolysis) to help generate enough energy to fuel
intense efforts.
The benefits of
interval training (sprinting in short
intense bursts)-- increases muscle fiber strength — increases
aerobic capacity (work ability)-- increases muscle mitochondria (the main energy production center in muscle)-- increases insulin sensitivity — increases natural growth hormone production
