==Tabata==
''Main article: [[Tabata]]''
 
The [[Tabata]] workout is one of the best known protocols for HIIT and consists of 7-8 repeats of 20 seconds at 170% of [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] with 10 seconds rest. The number of repetitions is defined by how long the required intensity can be maintained. An athlete should be able to complete 7-8 intervals; if 9 can be performed, the intensity is increased. However, few people actually follow the [[Tabata]] protocol because it requires specialist equipment to measure [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]], then calculate 1.7x the [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] workload that should be used. In practice, most people do what I call the WinTab workout (see below).

==HIIT Studies on Untrained or Moderately Active Subjects==
* 5 state level middle distance runners that underwent 4 weeks of HIIT training reduced their 3K time by 2.8% (10:16 to 9:59) and [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] by 4.9% (61 to 64)<ref name="Smith-1999"/>. The HIIT training consisted of 2 sessions per week of 6 intervals at 100% [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] with time varying between 60-75% [[vVO2max|T<sub>lim</sub>]], plus one weekly run of 30 min at 60% v[[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]]. For these runners, [[vVO2max|T<sub>lim</sub>]] averaged 225 seconds, so the intervals were between 135 and 170 seconds.
* Well trained, competitive runners trained twice a week for four weeks with intervals at 100% [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] for either 6x 60% [[vVO2max|T<sub>lim</sub>]] (133 sec) or 5x 70% (154 sec) [[vVO2max|T<sub>lim</sub>]], resting for twice the interval time. Their 3K time improved by 17.6 sec (60% [[vVO2max|T<sub>lim</sub>]]) or 6.3 sec (70% [[vVO2max|T<sub>lim</sub>]]), but there was no change in their 5K time<ref name="Smith-2003"/>.
* 41 elite ([[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>peak]] ~65) cyclists and triathletes were split into four groups, with three groups using the HIIT described below and the fourth acting as a control that followed only low to moderate intensity training<ref name="Laursen-3-2002"/>. Note that groups 1 and 2 vary only in their rest time, which is based on [[Heart Rate]] dropping to 65% of [[Maximum Heart Rate|HR<sub>max</sub>]] in group 2 (averaging around 180 seconds). This was a demanding regime, as the subjects reached exhaustion on nearly every HIIT training session, with ''''''only 64% of the dictated intervals actually completed''''''. Note that like comparison of different workouts above, the shorter HIIT produced a similar improvement in 40K performance without the accompanying rise in [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] which was not statistically different between group 3 and the controls.
