Not to discredit one of the authors points, but I don't see why its at all surprising that HIIT increased their maximum heart rate.
Your maximum heart rate isn't likely to increase unless you train and push the upper end of your HR. Sprint cyclists don't train to be fast by riding slowly, they do high intensity sprint efforts.
Your body adapts to the stimulus you provide it, if you want to increase your maximum HR you need to train at your near it.
