Short and Sweet: HIIT Training in PE
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v33 n2 p3-12 2020
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is an effective strategy for improving health-related fitness in youth. With continued trends of reduced physical education activity time, disturbing youth obesity rates, and outdated fitness testing practices, HIIT training becomes a viable option to use in physical programs to increase physical health and literacy. Proposed is an alternative approach to traditional fitness testing that not only improves fitness but gives students the tools needed to stay active for life.
