interval training is when there is a fixed period of exercise where you are operating at maximum effort followed by a short resting period. basically it depletes skeletal muscle of ATP, which is the cellular energy source used for muscular contractions. it has a VERY positive effect on increasing the resting metabolic rate for hours after the training session. it also has a very positive effect on the endocrine system causing growth hormone release and slightly elevated levels of androgens. which means it can cause the body to burn some serious body fat.
below is a great link to learn about high intensity interval training.
