Interval training, also known as interval training or interval workout, is a physical training method in which periods of high-intensity exercise are alternated with periods of low-intensity exercise. The goal of interval training is to challenge the body and improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, and endurance.

Interval training typically consists of repeated cycles of work and rest periods. The duration and intensity of each work period vary depending on the individual's fitness level and the specific exercise being performed. A common interval training protocol may involve short sprints of high-intensity exercise followed by longer periods of active recovery.

Benefits of interval training include improved cardiovascular fitness, increased caloric burn, and enhanced muscular endurance. Additionally, interval training has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. The variety of interval training protocols also makes it accessible to individuals of different fitness levels.

Interval training can be applied to various forms of exercise, including running, cycling, swimming, and resistance training. It can be performed indoors or outdoors, either alone or as part of a group training session. Coaches and trainers often incorporate interval training into their clients' exercise programs as a way to improve overall fitness and make exercise more engaging and challenging.

Safety precautions should be taken before and during interval training, including proper warm-up and cool-down procedures, adequate hydration, and an assessment of individual fitness levels to avoid injury or exhaustion.
