Hi Ron! Yes, so much more could be said. Roger Bannister accomplished a lot off of interval training without a lot of mileage! Some interval and or faster training is needed for peak fitness but it, by itself, is far from a complete training program.
It is the icing on the cake, not the cake. Of course, Art! I never mean to imply that interval training is the cake.
If you read any of my work or have ever heard me speak, I spend a great deal of time discussing the importance of the aerobic development. Hi Jason, I know you know it and know it well.
Some of the reasons for this are as follows: When using HIIT as an exercise protocol there is a greater use of lipids as a fuel source. Due to the huge amounts of lactic acid produced when performing HIIT we also see an increase in growth hormone output. This hormone will have huge impacts on changing body composition such as helping to remove excess body fat and build or maintain lean muscle tissue.
HIIT has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. A great factor for those who suffer with poor blood glucose profiles, such as diabetics or overweight individuals. Tabata takes you into EPOC Excess Post Oxygen Consumption which basically means after the 4 minutes is over your body will require additional oxygen to help you recover. Tabata has been shown to elevate EPOC for upto 48 hours following a session.
Type 2 diabetics Patients suffering from angina Patients suffering from heart failure Patients following myocardial infractions Post cardial stenting and coronary artery grafting When creating HIIT sessions to include in either your own workouts or for clients, there are certain things e need to take into account to ensure the session is effective.

In later years it can be seent hat Gerschler introduced faster, almost anaerobic capacity work occasionally. This can be seen in the training of Gordon Pirie who was a Gerschler disciple. Then as much as 20 minutes rest was taken and you repeat this times.
Zatopek helped bring back the concept of interval training after a brief lull during the WWII era. His explanation can be seen when he said:. I thought I must learn to run fast by practicing to run fast, so I ran meters fast 20 times.
Then I came back, slow,slow,slow. I already know how to run slow. I want to learn to run fast. Zatopek was one of the best runners ever and more importantly was extremely innovative in his training methods. He won gold medals in the 10k, and the 10k,5k, and marathon in His training methods consisted of running an enormous amount of repetitions on various terrain and conditions. He would often times run in heavy army boots to build up strength and resistance.
He would go to extreme ends to accomplish various training. For example when he heard other athletes were lifting weights for strength, he experimented with running while carrying his wife on his back. Another often told story is that of his wife telling him to do the laundry so he ran in place in the tub with the laundry soaking in it for an hour to get the laundry done. His normal training however was a set of m intervals with about a m jog sandwiched in between five m repeats with same jog.
The paces are unknown for his intervals but they were said to vary wildly. The key is that zatopek ran by feel and varied the effort based on what he thought was right. The basis of his program was to develop what he called speed and stamina. Log in Sign Up. More Words At Play. Merriam-Webster's Words of the Week - Oct. Merriam-Webster's Words of the Week - Nov.
