Tabata's team used stationary bicycles
I’m interested in HIIT as a means to achieve fitness in much less time than the 150 minutes a week of exercise recommended by various public health authorities.
Why didn’t the authors at least mention the oft-cited and apparently pioneering work of Izumi Tabata et al from 1996?

Dr. Parker,
Here’s an older article by Gibala, et al:
http://jp.physoc.org/content/575/3/901.full
They found that 30s sprints/4m rest x 6 was roughly equivalent to 2h at ~70% MHR. Total time was 75% less, total volume was 90% less.

Thanks, Sam. Tabata still has the Canadian’s beat by 10 years.
I see a Jonathan P. Little is a co-author of both articles above. I wonder if that’s the “John Little” who co-authored McGuff’s “Body By Science” book.
I am trying to find inootmarifn about the paleo diet, I’m looking for a generalized list of foods that are allowed and those that are not allowed. I’m also wondering how “strict” you have to be when following the diet for it to work, for instance, can I still use the paleo diet and have it work if I also incorporate dairy? I’m looking for informative answers please!
