Endurance training involves manipulation of intensity, duration, and frequency of training sessions. The relative impact of short, high-intensity training versus longer, slower distance training has been studied and debated for decades among athletes, coaches, and scientists. Currently, the popularity pendulum has swung towards high-intensity interval training. Many fitness experts, as well as ...

OBJECTIVES This study examined the neural adaptations associated with a low-volume Wingate-based High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). METHODS Fourteen recreationally trained males were divided into an experimental (HIIT) and a control group to determine whether a short-term (4 weeks) Wingate-based HIIT program could alter the Hoffmann (H-) reflex, volitional (V-) wave and maximum voluntar...

It was investigated if high-intensity interval training (HIT) at the expense of total training volume improves performance, maximal oxygen uptake and swimming economy. 41 elite swimmers were randomly allocated to a control (CON) or HIT group. For 12 weeks both groups trained ∼12 h per week. HIT comprised ∼5 h vs. 1 h and total distance was ∼17 km vs. 35 km per week for HIT and CON, respectively...

abstract       background and objective: high-intensity interval training (hiit) is a recently proposed exercise protocol, which is time-effective. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hiit for 8 weeks on the lipid profile, c-reactive protein (crp), fasting blood sugar (fbs) and anthropometric parameters of young women who do not exercise.      methods: in this study, 20 young ph...

ABSTRACT Introduction High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been widely used in functional physical performance enhancement, with the characteristics of low time demand and fast effects. Currently, many ways methods are adopted sports training, but impact HIIT still needs to be determined. Objective Explore effect on training. Methods The content includes preparatory activities, intermitt...
