Takeaways
High-intensity training can be safe when supervised properly.
Optimal frequency is 2-3 sessions per week for most people.
VO2 max can improve by 4-13% with appropriate protocols.
Short sprints (10-30 sec) are effective but require proper recovery.
High-intensity training benefits cardiac patients when supervised.
Sound bites
"Zone 5 is 100 to 120% of max heart rate."
"In supervised settings, high-intensity training is very safe."
"It's harder to reach high heart rates in the pool."
