What I was thinking is that I'd like to see some research on recovery time, physical impact for the rest of the day, pain after training, productivity on tasks after training, and so on.
My hypothesis is that HIIT and other high intensity training will have a greater effect on the rest of someone's day. I suspect the physical discomfort of keeping your heart rate at 120 for an hour is less than that of almost maxing it out in a handful of one minute intervals.

Only when you limit it to lactate levels. But you're not going to push to athlete serum levels anyway. There is a lot of tangential discomfort surrounding every aspect exercise, especially if you're not trained at all and have no routine.
- strken 28d agoYeah definitely! I'm not suggesting exercise is comfortable, just that a 10 minute workout that takes a sedentary person another 20 minutes to recover from has less of a lifestyle advantage over a 30 minute workout that ends with a gentle wind-down. It might actually be better even after factoring in the recovery time, but I think leaving out the recovery is a mistake when we're talking about public health.
