Does HIIT build strength?
Beginners may gain a little...
In trained lifters, endurance work on top of lifting can slightly blunt strength gains...

Is high-intensity interval training worth it? Before answering that, it helps to know which HIIT is being discussed.
Dr. Paul Laursen (@PaulBLaursen) explains in this clip from the full HIIT Science video on the HIIT basics (timestamped): youtube.com/watch?v=aPreipoxβ¦
You can be highly trained and still underperform if your overall load is too high.
Sleep, nutrition, stress, and recovery all influence performance.

Why did your training plan change?
In his talk at Simon Fraser University, Dr. @PaulBLaursen shares insights from Dr. @andrea_zignoli's work on incorporating established exercise science into Athleticaβs training models.

How hard should HIIT feel?
Hard to very hard, and it should feel good too.
@PaulBLaursen treats feeling good as a useful signal, not a guarantee.
Overtraining builds from repeated overload, not one session.

Training is only part of an athleteβs stress.
Work, family responsibilities and emotional strain can affect how ready you are for your next session, even when your training load hasnβt changed.

What is the real Tabata protocol, and what has it become in most gyms?
The full episode clears up what actually counts as HIIT, whether you really have to go all out, where HIIT even came from, and more.

You donβt need a gym to do HIIT, but you do need a clear plan.
Bodyweight exercises, a timer, and a little space can be enough for a home session. The exercise selection, intensity, and recovery periods should reflect what you want to improve.
@PaulBLaursen
@Athletica_AI
Can you actually go all out for 30 seconds?
You can have the intent to go all out, but will the power at the end match the power at the beginning?
Well, probably not.

Today almost everything in training gets tracked. Power, heart rate, HRV, sleep. The harder part is knowing what each of those numbers actually measures.
@mart1buch sees the confusion often, so it's worth being precise.

A higher VOβ max can help your lactate threshold improve. But what happens when fatigue builds?
@YMSchwarz explains how VOβ max, exercise economy, and lactate threshold interact, and why prolonged exercise makes that relationship more complicated.

On the Training Science Podcast, Mollie Brewer explains why domain expertise matters when working with large datasets in sport science, and how it helps tell a genuine new insight apart from a problem in the data.

HIIT or just interval training? An interval is a piece of time. Above critical power, it's HIIT. Below it, it can still be hard, just sub-threshold. Either way: hit the signal, walk away, repeat.

Game-based HIIT: can your sport be the conditioning?
Yes, but only if you control the variables.

HIIT is more than just a high heart rate. To see real progress, your training needs to trigger three specific βTarget Zonesβ in the body:
ALT HIIT is more than just a high heart rate. To see real progress, your training needs to trigger three specific βTarget Zonesβ in the body: 1οΈβ£ Aerobic π« Itβs about efficiency. HIIT improves your cardiac output and increases mitochondrial density. 2οΈβ£ Anaerobic π₯ Itβs about power. This system handles the βburnβby burning through glycogen and managing lactate levels when oxygen runs low. 3οΈβ£ Neuromuscular π§ Itβs about output. Your brain and muscles have to coordinate under high stress. This is where residual fatigue and injury risk live. If you donβt recover, you donβt adapt.
