#2I find that rather difficult to believe. e.g. If you consider the heart-rate. 1 minute of say 180bpm just isn't going to equal 45 minutes of 150bpm. I'm sure it does scale to some extent but not that dramatically...

150 bpm is usually considered a vigorous workout (modulo variance in age/ability/genetics) and depending on many factors could be very hard to maintain for 45 minutes.

#5I lost 40 lbs after high school by working out 10 minutes / night. Pushups til I couldn't anymore. Crunches til I couldn't anymore. Hitting a punching bag til I couldn't anymore and when that was all done, wall sits til I couldn't anymore.
The first three I went as hard and fast as I could. Best shape I've ever been in.

#6This is nonsense. Like people saying oh you can lose weight by being cold or breathing harder/more. Sure there is science behind it but in the end it does not promote maintainable lifestyles.
One minute all out may help athletes already in shape push to the next level. Like at the end of my long distance runs, I do a wind-sprint all out.
But regular people doing regular exercise benefit much more mentally from learning HOW to exercise for 45 minutes every day and increasing their metabolism.
If intensity training for a minute was all you needed, you could do sprints in the parking lot to train for a 45 minute 10K. Good luck with that.
Intensity training is good for fast-twitch muscle. Endurance training is good for slow-twitch. The two are not interchangeable.

Such experiments essentially make a point that the main results of training sessions occur not because of the direct action on muscles and calorie burn during the exercise but rather because of some changes in body self-regulation that are triggered by the training session but act throughout the rest of the day/week.
If that 1 minute of 180bpm causes an upregulation of +1bpm (or an increase of base metabolism for calorie burn) for the whole next week in a way that moderate exercise doesn't, then it can quite plausibly have significant effects..

If it was an obvious result we'd probably know about it already.

One of the largest challenges for regular people is finding 45-90 minutes to exercise in the first place. Research on shortening the length of time required for effective exercises is a worthwhile pursuit.
