Simply look at a joggers body, then look at a sprinters body. Want more proof? There are dozens and dozens of references of burst training studies. And guess what? It's nothing new.

If your trainer didn't know about it at least as far back as 1993 then your trainer needs to go back to school.

Here are a few references:
