'''High-intensity interval training''' ('''HIIT'''), also called '''high-intensity intermittent exercise''' ('''HIIE''') or '''sprint interval training''' ('''SIT'''), is a form of [[interval training]], a [[cardiovascular exercise]] strategy alternating short periods of intense [[anaerobic exercise]] with less intense recovery periods, until too exhausted to continue. Though there is no universal HIIT session duration, these intense workouts typically last under 30 minutes, with times varying based on a participant's current fitness level.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://dohiit.com/hiit-faq/#What_is_High-Intensity_Interval_Training|title=HIIT FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions about High-Intensity Interval Training)|work=DOHIIT|access-date=2017-08-25|language=en-US}}</ref>

==Procedure==
HIIT exercise sessions generally consist of a [[Warming up|warm up period]], then several repetitions of high-intensity exercise separated by medium intensity exercise for recovery, then a cool down period. The high-intensity exercise should be done at near maximum intensity. The medium exercise should be about 50% intensity. The number of repetitions and length of each depends on the exercise, but may be as little as three repetitions with just 20 seconds of intense exercise <ref name="NYT Well Blog">{{cite web|url=http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/12/10/one-minute-workout/|title=Got a Minute?

There is no specific formula to HIIT. Depending on one's level of cardiovascular development, the moderate-level intensity can be as slow as walking.<ref name="Cardio Training Freak">{{cite web|url=http://www.cardiotrainingfreak.com/high-intensity-interval-training-hiit/|title=High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): The Ultimate Fat Incinerator}}</ref> A common formula involves a 2:1 ratio of work to recovery periods, for example, 30–40 seconds of hard sprinting alternated with 15–20 seconds of jogging or walking, repeated to failure.

The entire HIIT session may last between four and thirty minutes, meaning that it is considered to be an excellent way to maximize a workout that is limited on time.<ref name=Forbes>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/2008/10/20/exercise-workout-shorter-forbeslife-cx_avd_1020health.html|title=Ten ways to get more from your workout|publisher=Forbes|date=October 20, 2008|accessdate=December 14, 2008|author=Van Dusen, Allison}}</ref>
Use of a clock or timer is recommended to keep accurate times, the number of rounds, and intensity.

===Peter Coe regimen===
A type of high-intensity interval training with short recovery periods was used in the 1970s by the athletics coach [[Peter Coe]] when setting sessions for his son [[Sebastian Coe]]. Inspired by the principles propounded by the German coach and university professor [[Woldemar Gerschler]] and the Swedish physiologist [[Per-Olof Åstrand]], Coe set sessions involving repeated fast 200 metre runs with only 30 seconds recovery between each fast run.<ref>{{cite book|first=Sebastian|last=Coe|title=Running My Life|publisher=Hodder|year=2013|isbn=978-1-444-73253-5|pages=38, 39}}</ref>

===Gibala regimen===
===Gibala regimen===
Professor Martin Gibala and his team at [[McMaster University]] in Canada have been researching high-intensity exercise for several years. Their 2010 study on students<ref name=pmid20100740>{{cite journal |pmid=20100740 |doi=10.1113/jphysiol.2009.181743|title=A practical model of low-volume high-intensity interval training induces mitochondrial biogenesis in human skeletal muscle: Potential mechanisms|journal=The Journal of Physiology|volume=588|issue=6|pages=1011–22|year=2010|last1=Little|first1=J.

Subjects using this method training 3 times per week obtained gains similar to what would be expected from subjects who did steady state (50–70% VO<sub>2</sub>max) training five times per week. While still a demanding form of training, this exercise protocol could be used by the general public with nothing more than an average exercise bike.

Gibala's group published a less intense version of their regimen in a 2011 paper in ''[[Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise]]''. This was intended as a gentler option for sedentary people who had done no exercise for over a year. It included 3 minutes of warm-up, 10 repetitions of 60-second bursts at 60% peak power (80–95% of [[Heart rate#Heart rate reserve|heart rate reserve]]) each followed by 60 seconds of recovery, and then a 5-minute cool-down.<ref name=Hood2011>{{cite journal |pmid=21448086 |doi=10.1249/MSS.0b013e3182199834|title=Low-Volume Interval Training Improves Muscle Oxidative Capacity in Sedentary Adults|journal=Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise|volume=43|issue=10|pages=1849–56|year=2011|last1=Hood|first1=Melanie S.|last2=Little|first2=Jonathan P.|last3=Tarnopolsky|first3=Mark A.|last4=Myslik|first4=Frank|last5=Gibala|first5=Martin J.}}</ref>

===Zuniga regimen===
Jorge Zuniga, assistant professor of exercise science at [[Creighton University]], set out to determine how to fit the highest volume of work and oxygen consumption into the smallest amount of time. He found that intervals of 30 seconds at 90% of power output at VO<sub>2</sub> max followed by 30 seconds of rest allowed for the highest VO<sub>2</sub> consumption and the longest workout duration at specified intensity. Alternative protocols considered included 100% of maximum power output on the same interval schedule, similar to the Coe regimen, and 90% of maximum power output for three minutes, similar to traditional interval training.<ref name=Zuniga>{{cite journal|vauthors=Zuniga JM, Berg K, Noble J, Harder J, Chaffin ME, Hanumanthu VS |title=Physiological responses during interval training with different intensities and duration of exercise|journal=Journal of strength and conditioning research|volume=25|issue=5|pages=1279–84|date=May 2011|pmid=21522072|doi=10.1519/JSC.0b013e3181d681b6|type=Primary Article}}</ref>

Zuniga's protocol has been implemented to great success by his students participating in Creighton's Army [[ROTC]] program. Cadets completing the protocol twice a week saw greater improvements in [[United States Army Physical Fitness Test|APFT]] scores than in years past.{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}}

===Vollaard regimen===
Dr Niels Vollaard at the [[University of Stirling]] proposed that when high-intensity intervals are done at ‘all-out’ intensities, associated health benefits plateau after performing 2 or 3 sprint repetitions. This led to the development of a 10-minute exercise routine consisting of easy pedalling interspersed with two 20-second ‘all-out’ cycling sprints.<ref name=Metcalfe>{{cite journal|vauthors=Metcalfe RS, Babraj JA, Fawkner SG, Vollaard NB|title=Towards the minimal amount of exercise for improving metabolic health: beneficial effects of reduced-exertion high-intensity interval training|journal=European Journal of Applied Physiology|volume=112|issue=7|pages=2767–75|date=Jul 2012|pmid=22124524|doi=10.1007/s00421-011-2254-z|type=Primary Article}}</ref> In a 2017 meta-analysis, Vollaard indeed showed that common protocols with as many as 6 to 10 repetitions of 30-second ‘all-out’ sprints do not improve aerobic fitness more than the ‘2x20-s’ protocol.<ref name=Vollaard>{{cite journal|vauthors=Vollaard NB, Metcalfe RS, Williams S|title=Effect of Number of Sprints in an SIT Session on Change in VO2max: A Meta-analysis|journal=Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise|volume=49|issue=6|pages=1147–1156|date=Jun 2017|pmid=28079707|doi=10.1249/MSS.0000000000001204|type=Primary Article}}</ref> It is claimed that this short protocol may remove many of the drawbacks that make other high-intensity interval training protocols unsuitable for the general population.<ref name="Vollaard/Metcalfe">{{cite journal|vauthors=Vollaard NB, Metcalfe RS|title=Research into the Health Benefits of Sprint Interval Training Should Focus on Protocols with Fewer and Shorter Sprints|journal=Sports Medicine|date=Apr 2017|pmid=28391489|doi=10.1007/s40279-017-0727-x|type=Primary Article|volume=47|pmc=5684281|pages=2443–2451}}</ref>

In a BBC ''[[Horizon (BBC TV series)|Horizon]]'' programme in February 2012, Jamie Timmons, professor of systems biology at the [[University of Loughborough]], put [[Michael Mosley (BBC)|Michael Mosley]] through this exercise bike regimen, but with three sprints instead of two. This was done three times a week for a total of 30 minutes of exercise per week (3 minutes of intense exercise), plus warm-up and recovery time.

==Regimen comparison==
Wood et al. compared High-intensity interval training of eight 1-minute bouts at 85% Wmax interspersed with a 1-minute active recovery at 25% Wmax v Sprint interval training of eight 30-second bouts at 130% Wmax interspersed with 90-second active recovery at 25% Wmax. (Total time matched at 24 mins including warm up & cool down). Their conclusion was "HIIT is the recommended routine" but "the magnitude of differences in various parameters between regimens was small; therefore, preference for either modality may be up to the individual".<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1519/JSC.0000000000001042 |pmid=26691413 |title=Dissimilar Physiological and Perceptual Responses Between Sprint Interval Training and High-Intensity Interval Training |journal=Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research |volume=30 |issue=1 |pages=244–50 |year=2016 |last1=Wood |first1=Kimberly M. |last2=Olive |first2=Brittany |last3=Lavalle |first3=Kaylyn |last4=Thompson |first4=Heather |last5=Greer |first5=Kevin |last6=Astorino |first6=Todd A. }}</ref>

===Cardiovascular fitness===
A 2015 [[systematic review]] and meta-analysis of [[randomized controlled trial]]s found that HIIT training and traditional endurance training both lead to significantly improved [[cardiovascular fitness]] in healthy adults ages 18–45 but greater improvements in VO<sub>2</sub> max were seen in those participating in the HIIT exercise regimen.<ref name=Milanovic2015>{{cite journal|vauthors=Milanović Z, Sporiš G, Weston M |title=Effectiveness of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIT) and Continuous Endurance Training for VO2max Improvements: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Controlled Trials|journal=Sports Med|volume=45|issue=10|pages=1469–81|date=October 2015|pmid=26243014|doi=10.1007/s40279-015-0365-0|type=Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis}}</ref> Another analysis also found that HIIT regimens of one month or longer effectively improve cardiovascular fitness in adolescents and lead to moderate improvements in body composition.<ref name=Costigan2015>{{cite journal|vauthors=Costigan SA, Eather N, Plotnikoff RC, Taaffe DR, Lubans DR |title=High-intensity interval training for improving health-related fitness in adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis|journal=Br J Sports Med|volume=49|issue=19|pages=1253–61|date=October 2015|pmid=26089322|doi=10.1136/bjsports-2014-094490|type=Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis}}</ref> Furthermore, a separate systematic review and meta-analysis of seven small randomized controlled trials found that HIIT (defined as four intervals of four minutes at 85–95% of max heart rate with three-minute intervals at 60–70% of max heart rate) was more effective than moderate-intensity continuous training at improving blood vessel function and markers of blood vessel health.<ref name=Ramos2015>{{cite journal|vauthors=Ramos JS, Dalleck LC, Tjonna AE, Beetham KS, Coombes JS |title=The impact of high-intensity interval training versus moderate-intensity continuous training on vascular function: a systematic review and meta-analysis|journal=Sports Med|volume=45|issue=5|pages=679–92|date=May 2015|pmid=25771785|doi=10.1007/s40279-015-0321-z|type=Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis}}</ref>

High-intensity interval training (HIIT), also called high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) or sprint interval training (SIT), is a form of interval training, a cardiovascular exercise strategy alternating short periods of intense anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods, until too exhausted to continue. Though there is no universal HIIT session duration, these intense workouts typically last under 30 minutes, with times varying based on a participant's current fitness level.[1]

Procedure

HIIT exercise sessions generally consist of a warm up period, then several repetitions of high-intensity exercise separated by medium intensity exercise for recovery, then a cool down period. The high-intensity exercise should be done at near maximum intensity. The medium exercise should be about 50% intensity. The number of repetitions and length of each depends on the exercise, but may be as little as three repetitions with just 20 seconds of intense exercise [2] The specific exercises performed during the high-intensity portions vary. Most of the research on HIIT has been done using a cycling ergometer, but other exercises like running, stair climbing and uphill walking can also be effective.[3]

Branch

Peter Coe regimen

A type of high-intensity interval training with short recovery periods was used in the 1970s by the athletics coach Peter Coe when setting sessions for his son Sebastian Coe. Inspired by the

Tabata regimen

has now come to refer to a wide variety of HIIT protocols and exercise regimens [4] that may or may not have similar benefits to those found in Tabata's original study.

Gibala regimen

Professor Martin Gibala and his team at McMaster University in Canada have been researching high-intensity exercise for several years. Their 2010 study on students[5] uses 3 minutes for warming up, then 60 seconds of intense exercise (at 95% of VO2max) followed by 75 seconds of rest, repeated for 8–12 cycles (sometimes referred to as "The Little Method"). Subjects using this method training 3 times per wet in modest reductions of subcutaneous fat in young and healthy individuals, but greater reductions for overweight individuals.[6]

Brain power

A 2017 study examined the effect of HIIT on cognitive performance among a group of children (N=318).[7] The authors show that HIIT is beneficial to cognitive control and working memory capacity when compared against "a blend of board games, computer games, and trivia quizzes" and that this effect is mediated by the BDNF polymorphism. They conclude that the study "suggests a promising alternative to enhance cognition, via short and potent exercise regimens".
