The deal with cardio is that if you do HIIT then you should take BCAAs before and after doing it. Doing cardio without BCAAs will cause your muscles to become catabolic after a certain extent and what the BCAAs do is they protect them by feeding your muscles the amino acids they require.
I'm not too familiar with the term BCAAs... is this something I can get through food like chicken and meat? Or are they only in supplement form? I'm asking because I do a lot of HIIT because I'm a cyclist and into racing.
Here are some resources you can read up on:

In the fitness world the supplement industry is huge. Everyone claims to have the next cutting edge product that will make you a super human. The truth is there is no secret to success except hard work and a solid nutrition and supplement plan. If it’s not a staple in your plan, BCAAs need to have room made for them. Besides creating a fuel source for your body so muscle doesn’t get used, they can help stimulate fat loss, and help you get back in the gym after an illness. If you are serious about your training and getting results get yourself some BCAAs and you won’t be sorry.
BCAAs are one of the staple supplements that anyone who is training seriously should be taking along with a multivitamin, whey protein and creatine. Google staple supplements and these ones will come up often.
