The study was conducted by scientists from the University of NSW and the Garvan Institute.
It studied 45 overweight women over a 15 week period. Each were put through a 20 minute cycling regime, sprinting on an exercise bike for 8 seconds and then followed by 12 seconds of regular pace for 40 minutes.
The study showed that the body is prompted to kick into a metobolic response that allows for more fat burning under the skin and within the muscle.
You can apply this form of interval training to swimming, walking, running and rowing.
