Sprint interval training (SIT) can elicit improvements in aerobic and anaerobic capacity. While variations in SIT protocols have been investigated, the influence of social processes cannot be overlooked. As research supports the use of groups to influence individual cognitions and behaviours, the current project assessed the effectiveness of a group-based intervention with participants conducting SIT. Specifically, 53 amateur athletes (age, 21.9 ± 2.9 years; 53% females) took part in a 4-week…

Modified sprint interval training protocols. Part I. Physiological responses.
TLDR
It is concluded that shorter SIT work bouts that target peak power generation increase exercise EE without compromising postexercise EE, though longer bouts promote greater postex exercise fat utilization.
Establishing a practical treadmill sprint as an alternative to the Wingate anaerobic test
TLDR
This 30-second running sprint test may be a valid and reliable mode-specific alternative to the Wingate Anaerobic Test.
Perceptions of groupness during fitness classes positively predict recalled perceptions of exertion, enjoyment, and affective valence: An intensive longitudinal investigation.
TLDR
Individuals' variations in their cognitive evaluations of fitness groups were closely linked to their affective responses to exercise, and the value in fitness classes feeling like authentic groups is demonstrated.

Sprint Interval Training Effects on Aerobic Capacity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TLDR
Evaluation of effects and analysis of moderating variables consolidates the findings of small-sample studies and contributes to the practical application of SIT to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and health.
10 or 30-s sprint interval training bouts enhance both aerobic and anaerobic performance
TLDR
Data indicate that 10-s (with either 2 or 4 min recovery) and 30-s SIT bouts are effective for increasing anaerobic and aerobic performance.
Run sprint interval training improves aerobic performance but not maximal cardiac output.
TLDR
Run SIT induces similar body composition, VO(2max), and performance adaptations as ET, but with no effect on Q(max), which suggests that adaptations with ET are of central origin primarily, whereas those with SIT are more peripheral.
Six sessions of sprint interval training increases muscle oxidative potential and cycle endurance capacity in humans.
TLDR
It is concluded that short sprint interval training (approximately 15 min of intense exercise over 2 wk) increased muscle oxidative potential and doubled endurance capacity during intense aerobic cycling in recreationally active individuals.
Four weeks of running sprint interval training improves cardiorespiratory fitness in young and middle-aged adults
TLDR
It is demonstrated that a 4-week running sprint interval training programme is equally effective at improving aerobic and anaerobic fitness in younger and middle-aged adults.
Mode of exercise and sex are not important for oxygen consumption during and in recovery from sprint interval training.
TLDR
The data demonstrate that the mode of exercise during SIT (cycling or running) is not important to O2 consumption and that males and females respond similarly and the total EPOC was not significantly different between modes of exercise or females and females.
Adaptations to high-intensity training are independent of gender
TLDR
Data show that adaptations to 6 days of low-volume HIT are similar in men and women matched for VO2max and physical activity, as well as reduced respiratory exchange ratio and heart rate during submaximal exercise.
Effects of sprint interval training on VO2max and aerobic exercise performance: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
TLDR
Strong evidence support improvement of aerobic exercise performance and VO2max following SIT, which coincides with peripheral muscular adaptations, and future RCTs on long‐term SIT and underlying mechanisms are warranted.
Running sprint interval training induces fat loss in women.
TLDR
Running SIT is a time-efficient strategy for decreasing body fat while increasing aerobic capacity, peak running speed, and fat-free mass in healthy young women.
Similar metabolic adaptations during exercise after low volume sprint interval and traditional endurance training in humans
TLDR
Given the markedly lower training volume in the SIT group, these data suggest that high‐intensity interval training is a time‐efficient strategy to increase skeletal muscle oxidative capacity and induce specific metabolic adaptations during exercise that are comparable to traditional ET.
