Can someone explain? In the program they said it's fat loss program and not for speed, but there very long rest periods..

I think long rests r what help u build speed cause u can go all out after being fully rested.

So, that program is for speed? The author says that this program targets fat loss through sprints.. and for pure speed more rest time between sprints is required.. I can't understand..

Author just took a program designed for sprinters and made some tweaks, now targeting it for fat-loss. It's just a fancy way to burn calories & lift.

The rest periods in the sprints are very long, I think it's for pure speed more than fat-loss, don't you? EDIT: Or, even sprints with long rest periods between shred the fat well?

Rest periods aren't going to make a huge difference.. it's about calories burned. 1 sprint might = ~10 calories burned. Therefore 10 sprints will = 100 calories burned whether there are rest periods or not. Obviously this is simplifying things a little, but thats the gist of it.

I think it is... less rest between sprints = EPOC (Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) that burn more fat. But, Does it possible to get lean body by doing sprints even with long rest between the sprints? how all the good sprinters get so lean and carry less bodyfat? they doing lot of conditioning work to maintain low bodyfat or it just natural by doing sprints (long rest periods) and strength training?

Lol, the amount of calorie burn from EPOC for any realistic amount of activity is so small it almost has no relevance. If I remember correctly, it's something like 7% for lower-intensity activity and 14% of higher-intensity activity. So let's say we're exercising at a high intensity for 30 minutes.. at 10cal/min (this is a very high value, most people aren't fit enough to maintain 10cal/min, but I digress) that's 300 calories. If we plug in our EPOC value, that's a whopping 42 extra calories burned. Now let's say we do 60 minutes of lower-intensity activity (60 mins because we can maintain it for longer) .. 60 x 7cal/min = 420 calories burned. Plugging in our EPOC value gives us another whopping 29.4 extra calories. You can read this for further information: www.bodyrecomposition.com/research-review/research-review-effects-of-exercise-intensity-and-duration-on-the-excess-post-exercise-oxygen-consumption.htmlTo summarize, you're overthinking it.
