3. Study: Controlling Blood Suger Levels (U.S. News)
   "In this study, subjects used exercise bikes to perform six sessions of intervals over two weeks. Each session consisted of between four and six 30-second sprints, plus a few minutes of rest in between. After two weeks of training, their body's ability to control blood sugar levels improved by 23 percent, says James Timmons, the study's coauthor and an exercise biologist at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland."
   
   "And, says Timmons, two of the major reasons we try to combat obesity are to prevent cardiovascular disease and diabetes; so while interval training may not produce dramatic weight loss unless combined with dietary changes, it may produce those other physiological benefits." 06-09
