Talk:High-intensity interval training

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This appears to be duplicating the article on Interval training, and should probably be merged into that page. David Cohen 00:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

It isn't the same. There's a qualitative difference when the intensity crosses the threshold that makes it anaerobic (sprinting) not aerobic (running) exercise. Julian Morrison 04:20, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure they're different? The Interval training article talks about "brief bouts at near-maximum exertion interspersed with periods of lower-intensity activity," which sounds the same as "high-intensity" interval training to me. If you want to make it clear there is more than one kind of interval training, then it's probably best to do it within the main interval training page, so people looking for information about interval training will find the high-intensity variant in the same article. Just my $0.02. --David Cohen 01:44, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I feel my HIIT calculator that I made at http://www.hiitsource.com/hiit-calc/ should be allowed in external links. It is useful for people who are making a HIIT routine so they know what heart rates to target between intervals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.188.130.49 (talk) 08:34, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
