Short Interval Training and its uses in the late phase of rehabilitation of the injured

Abstract

In introducing short interval training and suggesting its possible uses in the late phase of rehabilitation, it should first be made clear that this is not intended to represent a detailed account of a piece of research, duly documented, and embracing appropriate numbers of patients, controls and trials, but it has a functional bias and describes work during the last ten years or so. This work has consisted of the development of a conditoning procedure of a cardiovascular nature, determined in the main by the findings qf such men as A.V.Hill, Jokl, Brouha, Christensen and others. The method described here appears to have a valuable contribution to make towards the patient's total recovery.
