Interval Training
"Cardio: a waste of time and energy?" Vin Miller
"Intense anaerobic activity stimulates a process called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). In simple terms, after you’ve stopped exercising, the body continues to sustain an elevated level of metabolic activity that can last up to a few days."

"High intensity interval training" Jeff Bayer
"HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is cardio performed at such an intense level that your body will spend the rest of the day expending energy to recover ... This is commonly referred to as EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) and it means that you consume a great deal more oxygen recovering from the exercise bout than you would have if you'd just done a steady-state workout."

"Interval training" Richard Weil
"The protocol for interval training is to push your body past the aerobic threshold for a few moments and then return to your aerobic conditioning level with the objective of improving your performance (speed, strength, and endurance). "

"Interval training builds fitness fast: vary your training intensity to boost your performance" Elizabeth Quinn
"This repetitive form of training leads to the adaptation response. The body begins to build new capillaries, and is better able to take in and deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Muscles develop a higher tolerance to the build-up of lactate, and the heart muscle is strengthened."

"Interval training for sport specific endurance"
"For sports such as basketball, soccer, hockey, tennis, rugby and so on, interval training may be more appropriate than continuous running because it can increase aerobic power and improve cardiorespiratory endurance without the associated detrimental effects on anaerobic power."

"The insider secrets of interval training - learn how now!" Nick Nilsson
"Maximal High-Intensity Intervals - This type of interval training is VERY high intensity and is VERY effective for fat loss and cardio training. You essentially push yourself to the maximum on every single work interval you do! This type of training is extremely effective when training for sports that require all-out repeated efforts, such as football, soccer, hockey, etc. If you want to get faster and recover faster, this is the type of training for you."
