High - intensity interval training is a process in which a person performs near maximal exercise for a short
period of time, and then performs two to four
minutes of active
recovery; for example, if someone is on a treadmill they may go from running to walking.
Previous studies have proven the benefits
of vigorous stair climbing over sustained
periods of time — up to 70
minutes a week — but scientists set out to determine if sprint interval training (SIT), which involves brief bursts
of vigorous exercise separated by short
periods of recovery, was an effective and time - efficient alternative for improving cardiorespiratory fitness.
Investigators recruited 31 sedentary but otherwise healthy women and tested the effect
of two different protocols, each
of which required a 10 -
minute time commitment, including warm - up, cool down and
recovery periods.
High - intensity interval training is mostly consisted
of intense, short exercises, which last from 10 seconds to 4
minutes, and
recovery periods from 30 seconds to 1
minute which allow you to catch a breath between exercises.
That said, here's a 30 -
minute running workout that alternates varying inclines with short bursts
of sprinting and slower
recovery periods for a seriously booty - burning session that will blast fat and keep your mind engaged.
HIIT can be performed in maximum intensity training sessions
of 30 seconds with a
recovery period of one or two
minutes.
Psychologically, doing nine intervals
of three
minutes of all - out work followed by a two -
minute recovery period is easier than trying to maintain a steady pace at that intensity for the same 45
minutes.
-- warm up for 5
minutes (light jogging and stretches)-- 5 X 100 meter sprints, alternating with
recovery periods of jogging and walking
HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training.This training routine is characterized by short
periods of maximum effort followed by
periods of active
recovery (like sprinting for 30 - 40 seconds and then walking for 1 - 2
minutes).
The workout sessions consisted
of 1 -
minute periods of high intensity activity alternating with
recovery periods of 1 -
minute.
High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a low volume type
of exercise regime that incorporates short bursts
of near maximum intensity followed by momentary
recovery periods done over the course
of just a few
minutes.
The cool down, the
recovery period, 15
minutes 3 - 4x a week so 45 to 60
minutes a week for the high intensity interval training and you'll certainly see a lot
of benefits in terms
of your cardiovascular endurance and fitness from that lower volume
of training which is why I love high intensity interval training.
Blood glucose and insulin concentrations were recorded every 30
minutes of the 4 hour
recovery period.
In Zone 5, lactic acid builds up quickly, so this intensity can not be sustained for long
periods, but is useful for sustained surges
of up to around 5
minutes, as there is still some contribution from aerobic energy systems.Because muscle and joint impact and lactic acid levels become extremely high in this zone, this type
of training requires longer
recovery periods between both workouts and intervals, especially in beginner athletes.
To maximize your muscles with fast twitch fibers, you'll need to train with low to moderate reps (e.g. 4 to 8 reps), rest
periods of around 1 to 2
minutes and a moderate training volume (too much volume will compromise
recovery).
Between the rest
periods and the time it takes you to finish those four exercises, you'll have three
minutes of recovery before repeating an exercise.
A longer
period of up to 30
minutes can be accomplished without undue stress but
recovery between sets is a key.
Instead
of continuous movement for 20 or more
minutes, as is typical for exercise walkers, joggers and cyclists, HIIT usually involves 30 to 60 seconds
of exercise near the peak
of a person's ability, followed by a comparable
recovery period of easy activity, with the sequence repeated for a total
of about 20
minutes three times a week.
