• High-intensity interval training in patients with lifestyle-induced cardiometabolic disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2013, background): “…endurance training (similar improvements shown with ∼ 90% less volume), 30 s may not be long enough to induce superior health-enhancing bene fi ts. 14 It appears from the studies reviewed that HIITelicits many superior bene fi ts to MICT in a slightly shorter time period (median 38 vs 46 min,…”
• Physiological adaptations to low‐volume, high‐intensity interval training in health and disease (2012, background): “As little as six sessions of this type of training, totalling ∼15 min of all out cycle exercise over 2 weeks, increased skeletal muscle oxidative capacity as reflected by the maximal activity and/or protein content of mitochondrial enzymes (Burgomaster et al. 2005; Gibala et al. 2006).”
• Similar metabolic adaptations during exercise after low volume sprint interval and traditional endurance training in humans (2008, methodology): “The SIT protocol was modelled on previous work in our laboratory and consisted of four to six 30 s ‘all out’ cycling tasks performed three times per week for 6 weeks (Burgomaster et al. 2006; Gibala et al. 2006a).”
• Physiological adaptations to interval training and the role of exercise intensity (2017, background): “Comparable increases in mitochondrial content were reported for low-volume SIT and MICT after 2 (Gibala et al. 2006), 6 (Burgomaster et al. 2008; Shepherd et al. 2012; Scribbans et al. 2014) and 12 (Gillen et al. 2016) weeks of training.”
• Metabolic Adaptations to Short-term High-Intensity Interval Training: A Little Pain for a Lot of Gain? (2008, background): “We have consistently found an increased muscle oxidative capacity (assessed using the maximal activity or protein content of mitochondrial enzymes such as citrate synthase and cytochrome oxidase) ranging from approximately 15% to 35% after six sessions of HIT over 2 wk (6,8,11).”
• Low-volume high-intensity interval training reduces hyperglycemia and increases muscle mitochondrial capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes. (2011, methodology): “As little as six sessions of low-volume HIT over 2 wk increases skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity (8), which may be of clinical relevance for T2D given that reduced content (22) or biogenesis (18) of mitochondria have been implicated in insulin resistance and T2D.”
• High-intensity interval running is perceived to be more enjoyable than moderate-intensity continuous exercise: Implications for exercise adherence (2011, background): “To this end, several investigators (Babraj et al., 2009; Burgomaster, Hughes, Heigenhauser, Bradwell, & Gibala, 2005, Burgomaster et al., 2007, 2008; Gibala et al., 2006; Whyte, Gill, & Cathcart, 2010) have recently adopted short-term high-intensity interval training interventions (4–6630-s maximal…”

• A practical model of low‐volume high‐intensity interval training induces mitochondrial biogenesis in human skeletal muscle: potential mechanisms (2010, methodology): “Previous low-volume HIT studies (Parra et al. 2000; Burgomaster et al. 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008; Gibala et al. 2006; Babraj et al. 2009) have utilized all-out exercise intervals on a specialized cycle ergometer and our findings are unique in that the HIT protocol was designed to be more practical and…”
