Interval training is based on the alternation of high and low intensity training sessions. High-intensity sections predominantly involve anaerobic-type exercises, while the regeneration period aims to reduce the heart rate with aerobic-type exercises or rest. High intensity interval training (HIIT) gradually reduces the duration of the workout phase, but at the same time increases the intensity of the exercises, thus increasing the strength and endurance of the person. Training clearly increases vital capacity and performance as well, and we can burn more calories in less time.
Research has shown that while after an average aerobic workout, your metabolism returns to its original state after 24 hours, after an interval of training, it doubles, so your body can enjoy the beneficial effects of the exercise for 48 hours. The most prominent of these is the acceleration of fat metabolism, resulting in a significant reduction in subcutaneous adipose tissue.
Such an exercise program is recommended for those who want to reduce their body fat composition, increase their cardiovascular endurance, or simply want to push their limits.
