Boring definition: HIIT is an exercise methodology alternating periods of highly
intense anaerobic exercise with short rest periods.
High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a program of alternating periods of short
intense anaerobic exercise (which means pushing your body toward its limits) with short periods of rest, which can be easily applied to any type of workout.
It's a form of interval training, an exercise strategy alternating short periods of
intense anaerobic exercise with less - intense recovery periods.
It has been unclear whether high - intensity interval training (HIT), referring to alternating short bouts of very
intense anaerobic exercise with recovery periods, or anaerobic resistance training has similar effects on hippocampal neurogenesis in adulthood.

Now don't get me wrong about the cardio thing... in reality, I actually work on
exercises that are much tougher and more
intense than traditional cardio... I prefer wind sprints, hill sprints, swimming sprints, speed rope jumping, etc to complement my resistance training... all of which are more
anaerobic in nature than aerobic.
The magnitude of the benefits from short and
intense anaerobic training can best be put in perspective when compared to the more familiar tired aerobic
exercise.
Creatine is the ultimate source of energy when it comes to
intense weight training and other
anaerobic exercises.
During short burst of
intense exercise lasting 30 - seconds or less is when the heart muscle works hard to provide oxygen to all three muscle fiber types and this prepares and conditions the heart muscle to meet the aerobic and the
anaerobic demands of life.
Higher intensity interval
exercise uses both aerobic and
anaerobic metabolism (glycolysis) to help generate enough energy to fuel
intense efforts.
These findings lead to the conclusion that oral Gakic treatment increased muscle torque and work sustained during
intense acute
anaerobic dynamic
exercise, and it also increased overall muscle performance by delaying muscle fatigue.
HIIT is a type of
exercise which alternates periods of short
intense anaerobic workouts with short rest intervals (less -
intense recovery periods).
It's a training technique in which you alternate
intense bursts of
anaerobic exercise such as sprinting with short recovery periods.
The alactic
anaerobic energy system described above is the first system recruited for muscle contraction and can last for only about 10 seconds of
intense exercise after which the lactic
anaerobic and aerobic energy systems become the main contributors to ATP production.
Since chronic stress (even when it's not clinical) promotes
anaerobic function, doing
intense exercise (the kind typically recommended for a 10k or in Crossfit) makes it even more difficult for the body to burn fat, recover, or both.
Since
anaerobic exercise and
intense aerobic
exercise promote a greater increase in one's post-training metabolic rate than mild aerobic
exercise, both types of
exercise are important in any well - designed weight loss
exercise program.
Notice that
anaerobic exercise is usually much more
intense than aerobic
exercise and, of course,
intense aerobic
exercise is more
intense than mild aerobic
exercise.
In a recent study in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, Weiss and his colleagues found that after four days on a keto diet, participants performed worse on
anaerobic exercise tasks — which involve short bursts of
intense activity — than those who'd recently gone on a high - carb diet.
Studies in
exercising dogs have observed how this
anaerobic process provides maximum power for up to 10 seconds, making it essential for
intense, short lasting work such as weight pulling or sprints by your dog.
