Did you mean HIIT? Because that’s well supported by numerous studies and is unlikely to go away. The tradeoffs seem to be reduced weight loss for improved cardiovascular fitness.

HIIT, yes.

To clarify: I mean specifically the over-emphasis on intensity by amateurs for competitions longer than a few minutes.

Fair enough, various forms of interval training have been commonly used to condition for endurance sports all the way back to the 1950’s. It’s all about building aerobic capacity via anaerobic exercise.

But, the current spike is probably going to go away.
