Resumen de Metabolic Adaptations to Short-term High-Intensity Interval Training: A Little Pain for a Lot of Gain?

Martin J. Gibala, Sean L. McGee

• High-intensity interval training (HIT) is a potent time-efficient strategy to induce numerous metabolic adaptations usually associated with traditional endurance training. As little as six sessions of HIT over 2 wk or a total of only approximately 15 min of very intense exercise (~600 kJ), can increase skeletal muscle oxidative capacity and endurance performance and alter metabolic control during aerobic-based exercise.
