High-Intensity Interval Training
What is HIT? High intensity interval training is an “exercise strategy that is
intended to improve performance with short training sessions.”
HIT is often utilized to increase fat burn and caloric expenditure in a shorter period of time.
HIT is structured to alternate periods of intense activity with planned
rest periods.
Who does HIT •Body Builders •Athletes •Those with
limited time •Those who are board of traditional cardio/fat burning methods
Improvements in Female College Soccer Players The training program resulted in significant improvements in team VO<sub>2max</sub> values Performing HIIT as little as twice per week offers an adequate aerobic training stimulus at considerable time savings. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR
MORE Research on HIT Wingate HIT protocol resulted in increased mitochondrial enzymes and skeletal muscle oxidative capacity. HIT reduced cardiometabolic diseases based on sprint interval training (SIT) and aerobic interval training (AIT) protocols.
