Performing Sprintsfor adults that don't do it very often sprinting can actually cause a lot of injuries.
High Intense Sprint Interval are someting you start out with it is something you work up to.
Post Cardiac High Interval RehabTraining
Information has been posted this site regarding High Intensithy Interval Cardiac Rehab Training.
The same recommedation apply for Cardiac Rehab Patients as it does for adults who rarely perform sprints.
Cardiac Rehab Patients ease into it. Thus, their High Intensity Interval Training Session would be something like walking down to the end of the hallway in a hospital, sitting down and walking back.
While it seems like we should all be able to do it since in my brain I feel like we all grew up sprinting for sports, but that is simply not true and even less true the older we get.
Simply Not True
This definitely applies to your statement.
As long as am individual is healthy and in good enough condition Track Sprints are fine.
hill sprints or sled pulls are recommended, because you get the benefits of sprinting but you are moving much slower so it's safer.
High Intensity Interval Training
Yes, both Hill Sprints and Sled Pull performed with high intensity for 30 second or less, with rest period beween them is High Intensity Interval Training.
It's questionalbe if they are safer.
A great deal of force need to be generated to run up a hill (dependent on the percentage of incline).
The same is true for someone pulling let's say a Sled that weighs with weight on it, add up to be 100 lbs.
The objective with both is to Sprint Up the hill or drag the 100 lb Sled a set distance as quickly as possible.
If moving slower ensure greater safety, that would mean Powerlifting would really be safe.
