| rdfs:comment | - High Intensity Training (HIT) is a form of strength training popularized in the 1970s by Arthur Jones, the founder of Nautilus. The training focuses on performing quality weightlifting repetitions to the point of momentary muscular failure. The training takes into account the number of repetitions, the amount of weight, and the amount of time the muscle is exposed to tension in order to maximize the amount of muscle fiber recruitment.
- High Intensity Training (HIT) is a training technique popularized in the 1970s by Arthur Jones (Nautilus, MedX) which focuses on brief sessions of extreme intensity (to failure), infrequent, with lots of rest and a high concern with strict form. Some characteristics include extreme intensity, dizziness, falling down, and nausea, which is considered by HIT practitioners to be a good sign of the last rep—during each set after appropriately warming up. HIT routines consist of whole-body workouts as opposed to the more popular split routine.

| abstract | - High Intensity Training (HIT) is a training technique popularized in the 1970s by Arthur Jones (Nautilus, MedX) which focuses on brief sessions of extreme intensity (to failure), infrequent, with lots of rest and a high concern with strict form. Some characteristics include extreme intensity, dizziness, falling down, and nausea, which is considered by HIT practitioners to be a good sign of the last rep—during each set after appropriately warming up. HIT will target a single body part with a single exercise, and generally a single set of 8 to 12, done to momentary muscular failure, or "putting everything you've got into every set of every exercise; about the only movement not to be done to absolute, utter failure was squats, for the simple reason that getting up 'out of the hole' was dangerous and difficult at best, after having failed with a heavy bar across the shoulders." The general idea of HIT is to take a certain, limited number of exercises and work them to utter failure, and to do so only often enough to stimulate growth but not to exhaust one's recovery ability. HIT routines consist of whole-body workouts as opposed to the more popular split routine.
