Primary/Secondary? Popular/Scholarly? What's the difference?

Let's talk a little bit about High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Do you know what it is?

Let's take a look at a bunch of sources below (some of which are peer-reviewed scholarly articles, and some of which are not!) and figure out what we can learn from these different types of sources.
