Summary

• Martin Buchheit and Paul Laursen – Science and Application of High-Intensity Interval Training: Solutions to the Programming PuzzleThe popularity of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which consists primarily of repeated bursts of high-intensity exercise, continues to soar because its effectiveness and efficiency have been proven in use by both elite athletes and general fitness enthusiasts.

• Surprisingly, few resources have attempted to explain both the science behind the HIIT movement and its sport-specific application to athlete training.

• That’s why Science and Application of High-Intensity Interval Training is a must-have resource for sport coaches, strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, and exercise physiologists, as well as for researchers and sport scientists who study high-intensity interval training.

• Authors Paul Laursen and Martin Buchheit–both well-known, expert-level HIIT researchers as well as practitioners and endurance athletes–do a masterful job of blending science-based concepts of HIIT with practical application strategies.

• Laursen, Buchheit, and a team of highly qualified contributors–who bring hundreds of years of combined HIIT science and application experience from across all sports–have written Science and Application of High-Intensity Interval Training to provide practitioners and athletes an understanding of the foundational principles of HIIT programming.
