There are tons of academic and sports medicine white papers on HIIT. Google has more time than I do.
My “five whys” guess would be it remains relatively obscure, because it’s not a thing trainers are trying to get casuals or ‘bros’ to do if they want recurring customers, because people hate it, because most people feel ill from HIIT done right, because doing it to the point of effectiveness relies on pushing beyond normal limits for 30 seconds at a time.
You can add keywords for “tabata intervals” and branch out from the research in Japan on hockey training.
As for metabolism shift, it’s the opposite of prevailing “bro” science that thinks the workout is the thing. On the contrary, look into BMR or basal metabolic rate and EPOC or post-exercise oxygen consumption.
