【 摘 要 】

In this commentary, we explain why the recent manuscript by Hardcastle et al. (2014), which conveyed the opinion that sprint interval training (SIT) is inappropriate for sedentary individuals, may be misguided and propose an alternate view on this issue. Specifically, the main disagreements to consider involve reduced pleasure, self-esteem, adherence, and motivation with SIT, as well as the potential complexities involved with controlling exercise intensities.
