And this applies to pretty much any sport that is not entirely based on endurance I would imagine (aka marathons).
Why would you waste time and energy doing HIIT with exercises similar to the movement of the sport instead of using that time and energy to simply get stronger on your NLP and then display that strength in the sport?
