The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
A 30sec Add-In to Increase V02Max
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

And they randomized them to do either traditional HIIT, four, five minute repeats, or effort matched 30 second sprints. And they sort of effort matched, so whichever group you're assigned to, you're working at the highest effort you could, and they were work matched. And what they found was the group that incorporated the sprints had a further boost to their performance, 20 minute time trial performance. And they actually had a small but significant improvement in VO2 max.
So should individuals engage in some short, sharp, hard efforts? I think, ideally speaking, yes, they should. There's even some recent evidence, I think there's renewed interest in the potential for elite endurance athletes to incorporate sprinting in their training.
