The 5 NEW HIIT INSIGHTS That Could Change The Way You Train - with Dr. Rune Talsnes and Paul Laursen

HIIT is not necessarily going to work for EVERYONE 🤯 - especially if you are already training quite a bit!Rune wants you to understand that a lot of HIIT studies and data points have lacked a “load” matched comparison; thus it is uncertain whether HIIT’s effects are down to simply “training with higher load” (or something, because often “total work” or time has been used for matching - but that ain’t enough!). It goes so far that it may be that some individuals might ONLY need a couple of WEEKS during their tapering phase to get enough high level HIIT in.In the 78th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Rune discuss:⛷️ EVERYTHING that is current cutting-edge in cross-country skiing;🤔 How HIIT is unlikely to be the “be all and end all” workout type (Yes, we are STILL HIIT SCIENCE! 😂);😎 What to do with “underperformance” and/or overtraining?_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Dr. Rune Talsnes https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Rune-Talsnes _____________________ References:Rune’s twitter:https://twitter.com/RuneTalsnes Load increases with HIIT or not:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34611057/ Training with cross-country skiing:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35130512/Return from underperformance:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36699686/
