In athletes, it can enhance <a href="/wiki/Lactate_threshold" title="Lactate threshold">lactate threshold</a> and improve VO<sub>2</sub> max. Lactate threshold has been shown to be a significant factor in determining performance for long distance running events. An increase in an athlete's VO<sub>2</sub> max allows them to intake more oxygen while exercising, enhancing the capability to sustain larger spans of aerobic effort.<sup id="cite_ref-Giala2014_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Giala2014-12"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Studies have also shown interval training can induce endurance-like adaptations, corresponding to increased capacity for whole body and skeletal muscle lipid oxidation and enhanced peripheral vascular structure and function.<sup id="cite_ref-Mazurek2014_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mazurek2014-14"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>There is limited evidence that interval training assists in managing risk factors of many diseases, including <a href="/wiki/Metabolic_syndrome" title="Metabolic syndrome">metabolic syndrome</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cardiovascular_disease" title="Cardiovascular disease">cardiovascular disease</a>, <a href="/wiki/Obesity" title="Obesity">obesity</a> and <a href="/wiki/Diabetes" title="Diabetes">diabetes</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-karlsen_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-karlsen-6"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-wewege_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wewege-15"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> It does this by improving insulin action and sensitivity.
