[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 710699, member: 74042"] Depends which studies you look at. Most of them don't look over a long enough duration. HIIT has a role, but not all it's made out to be. It tends to give very rapid improvement in untrained people then plateaus whereas endurance training keeps those improvements going. Most studies have shown that a mix of strength adn endurance benefits everyone, particularly as we age. To be honest it really depends what you want to do, if you are just trying to improve overall fitness adn it gets you off the couch, it won't hurt. But if you are training like Andy for a marathon, HIIT alone will not get you there. To be able to compete at endurance events you need to train at endurance events, but you'll still find endurance athletes doing strength and interval work as well. . Problem is most people do not know how to train and try too hard at their easy sessions which then compromises their ability to go hard at their hard sessions. [/QUOTE]
