The Benefits of Short Interval Training on Endurance Performance
This podcast discusses a study of the impacts of interval training on endurance performance. The study showed that just six sessions of two to three minutes of heavy exercise increased the body's ability to use oxygen to burn fuel and resulted in improved time to fatigue on an exercise bike.
