Of course! As per the study, there are three such workouts that involve high-intensity intervals in the order of a ̵tabata, VO2max, and eight demos. The first one is called tabata which is typically structured as thirty seconds on followed by an equal time of rest with a cycle of 10 to 15 times for three sets and an approximate duration of 10 minutes rest between the sets. The second one involves a bout of four minutes which is performed at VO2 max intensity for four intervals: rest is assumed if the duration increases and has a maximum scope of 8 intervals. This is meant for advanced riders as novices may do 4 intervals. The third VO2 max is based on 8 minute intervals: the curling of advanced amateurs lasts for maximum of 6 intervals with rest periods of 2-4 minutes. The aforementioned workouts seek to improve the physical power output and overall fitness on the bike.
