That Triathlon Show What types of intervals are most effective? A scientific analysis with Michael Rosenblat | EP#243
Michael Rosenblat is a Canadian researcher working towards his PhD. In this interview we discuss one of his main research papers: a meta-analysis and systematic review all about interval training.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-Long, medium, and short High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) compared with Sprint Interval Training (SIT)
-The scientific evidence available for trying to find the "optimal" type of interval training
-Why Long HIIT may have certain advantages over other types of HIIT as well as SIT
-Should athletes try to optimise (find the one best workout) or mix things up to get the best of all worlds?
