Yes, they do. This article about the science behind 7 minute workouts (it's about intensity, not duration) generated a lot of interest: https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-m...

This is good to know! The researchers we're in touch with say there needs to be more evidence and longitudinal studies until the science behind 7-min workouts is certain. The habit-formation strategies -- and the effect of things like text-based health interventions -- have been fairly well researched though! Some of the best research labs in the world, like UCSF, are actively studying text-based cues and coaching today.
