Finding the Optimal Recovery Period in Intense Interval Workouts
58:36 - 1:03:32 (04:56)
The length of recovery periods during intense interval workouts depends on individual goals and the desired adaptations, with different levels of glycogen depletion potentially leading to better adaptations. Keeping recovery periods active but with low workload settings can allow for refueling and recharging for subsequent intervals.

Active recovery at a low workload setting is preferred, but recovery periods after high-intensity exercise should still be kept active to prevent fainting and minimize the risk of injury, especially in older or deconditioned individuals.

Summary
Active recovery at a low workload setting is preferred, but recovery periods after high-intensity exercise should still be kept active to prevent fainting and minimize the risk of injury, especially in older or deconditioned individuals.

Summary
The rest periods in interval training depend on several factors such as the individual's goals and metabolic considerations. Allowing for some recovery between intervals can help refuel and recharge for better subsequent power outputs.
