Thanks for the links and for the info on Tabata. I am interested in the idea that short bursts of intense activity can make a significant difference in measures of fitness.

In my swimming days, I knew a guy who decided to ditch the overload of workouts (2-3 hours in the pool, going 5+ miles each day) and proposed alternative workouts -- he and a buddy were featured in Sports Illustrated (late 80s) with their ideas, though I am not sure if the swimming world adopted his proposed method. Still, from what I recall, he improved his times with less time.
