There are 3 variations of Interval Training. HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) can be described as:

• bursts of 85-95% MHR exercise, interspersed with short periods of rest

• exercise that draws on the lactic acid and ATP-PC systems as intervals are at 100% effort

• exercise that draws on the aerobic system as intervals are at 80-95% MHR

• exercise loved by the English football teams as it gives you a "fully fit rig"
