It's multi-purpose, my main purpose in my overall training is hypertrophy and that applies to this training as well, but sprints give me the added benefits of improved work capacity in the gym and improved insulin sensitivity. But mainly I'd like to use it as an additional hypertrophy tool for the lower body (along with standard resistance training).
I've read some good articles by John Meadows about how high-intensity training is superior for body composition than steady-state cardio and sprinting is my preferred method of incorporating this.
