Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popularity of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which consists primarily of repeated bursts of high-intensity exercise, continues to soar because its effectiveness and efficiency have been proven in use by both elite athletes and general fitness enthusiasts. Surprisingly, few resources have attempted to explain both the science behind the HIIT movement and its sport-specific application to athlete training. That’s why Science and Application of High-Intensity Interval Training is a must-have resource for sport coaches, strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, and exercise physiologists, as well as for researchers and sport scientists who study high-intensity interval training.
Download or read book Aerobic Performance Adaptations to Duration Equated High Intensity Versus Sprint Interval Training Methods in an Athletic Population written by Mark Gifford and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High aerobic capacity has been shown to be a key indicator of physical performance in field based athletes. From having the ability to maintain energy production during long duration activities as well as replenishing other metabolic systems, aerobic capacity is a necessity for athletes performing at high levels. This research set out to look at two different training modalities in improving aerobic capacity in an athletic population. Thirteen participants (9 males and 4 females, 22.1 ± 2.5 years; 171.9 ± 10.0 cm; 74.4 ± 11.3 kg) completed six-weeks of aerobic training three times per week in either High-intensity interval training (120% of VO[subscript 2max]) or Sprint interval training (all out). In this study six participants were in the High intensity Interval group and seven were in the Sprint Interval group. Participants completed an aerobic capacity test pre and post training on a high-speed treadmill in which, VO[subscript 2max], percentage of VO[subscript 2max] at Ventilatory Threshold (VT), VO[subscript 2] at VT, and Fast Slope of Excess Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) were all measured used open circuit spirometry. Following six-weeks of training significant Time main effects were observed for VO[subscript 2] at VT (Pre 30.0 +/- 2.4 mL/kg/min, Post 32.4 +/- 3.0 mL/kg/min), and Fast Slope of EPOC Recovery (Pre 21.7 +/- 3.5 mL/kg/min, Post 23.5 +/- 3.8 mL/kg/min), over the six-week training period. Due to a small sample size, interpretation of this data should be made with caution. However, these findings suggest that HIIT and SIT methodologies do not differ in their impact on adaptations to aerobic performance variables over a six week intervention period. More data collection is necessary to allow for more complete interpretation with appropriate statistical power.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Recent research has suggested supramaximal training can be an effective means of improving endurance performance; however ultra high intensity training (UHIT) has not been examined as a replacement of training volume in a well-trained endurance population. Overuse-related injuries, recurring illness, feelings of staleness, and overtraining that are often associated with high volume training may be avoided with low volume, UHIT training. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two weeks of low volume UHIT with two weeks of traditional HV endurance training on lactate threshold (LT), VO2max, steady state efficiency, substrate utilization rates, and 25K time trial performance in well-trained endurance athletes. Method: Twenty (VO2max e"55 ml/kg/min or 4.5 L/min and minimum training volume of 150 km/week) male cyclists were match-paired into two groups. Four two-day testing sessions were performed at 0, 2, 4, and 6 wks. Day one of testing measured VO2max and lactate threshold. Day two involved a 10-min steady state ride followed by a 25K time trial. All participants were tested, then continued two weeks of their endurance training. Following a retest, the controls (CON) continued with their endurance training while the other half (INT) replaced their endurance training with UHIT, consisting of a 10-min warm-up followed by 8-10 x 30 sec sprints at a workload of 0.075 kg/kg body weight and 4.5 min recovery. Participants completed 6 training sessions over two weeks with two optional low intensity endurance days. Following the second phase all participants re-tested then either continued with (CON) or returned to (INT) their individual endurance-training regimen. A final testing session was conducted two wks later. Total training hours reported for each group are in the table below. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in VO2max or LT (% of VO2max). In addition, cycling efficiency, steady state VO2, stead.

Download or read book The Effects of Four Weeks of High Intensity Interval Training and beta hydroxy beta methylbutyric Free Acid Supplementation on the Onset of Neuromuscular Fatigue written by Amelia Anne Miramonti and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of this study indicate that HIIT was effective in delaying the onset of fatigue, but supplementation with HMBFA in conjunction with HIIT was more effective than HIIT alone. An increase in PWCFT represents an increase in the maximal power output an individual can sustain without eliciting fatigue. Therefore, HIIT can be used to improve performance in both endurance activities as well as intermittent sports. In addition, HMBFA supplementation is a simple method that can be used to maximize the benefits of HIIT. Acknowledgments: Metabolic Technologies, Inc. provided the supplement and funding for this study.
Download or read book Programming Interval Training to Optimize Endurance Sport Performance written by Michael Alexander Rosenblat and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interval training has become an essential component of endurance training programs because it can facilitate a substantial improvement in endurance sport performance. Interval training involves repeated bouts of high intensity exercise lasting from seconds to minutes in duration. There remains a lack of consensus concerning the optimal method to structure an interval training program. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to determine the optimal method to program interval training to maximize endurance sport performance. The results of this thesis showed that interval training produced adaptations in the central and peripheral factors that influence maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) that were dependent on the type of interval training. Interval training programs led to improvements in VO2max, maximal aerobic power and time-trial (TT) performance. The responses were highly dependent on individual and training characteristics. Training status was shown to be the primary baseline characteristics that influenced the response to interval training. With respect to programming variables, long duration intervals (4 min to 5 min) performed during high-intensity interval training (HIIT) produced greater improvements in TT performance compared to sprint interval training (SIT). Exercise performed at any intensity within the severe domain led to similar improvements in TT performance. Consistent training for at least 4-weeks was required to see maximal improvements with HIIT. However, the relationship between total work and performance improvements was not present with SIT. Meta-analyses are highly effective tools that can be used to create best practice guidelines for programming interval training.
Download or read book The Effect of High Intensity Interval Training on VO2 Peak and Performance in Trained High School Rowers written by Natasha Carr and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a phrase quickly becoming popularized through current research due to the physical and physiological success this method of training has proven to yield in both untrained and trained individuals. There is no set definition used to describe HIIT, but it typically refers to repeated bouts of fairly brief intermittent exercise. A great deal of research outlines the benefits associated with utilizing HIIT in untrained and recreationally trained individuals. However, research on the effect HIIT has or could possibly have on the well-trained endurance athlete is limited, specifically in the sport of rowing. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of HIIT on VO2 peak and performance in trained rowers when compared to traditional, endurance training. It was hypothesized that HIIT would be just as effective at improving VO2 peak and performance as the endurance training protocol in well-trained rowers. A total of 20 high school female rowers participated in the study (mean ± SD; age = 16 ± 1). Baseline testing was comprised of a 2000m time-trial test on the Concept IIc Rowing Ergometer and a maximal exercise test, which was also completed on the Concept IIc Ergometer, in order to determine VO2 peak. Subjects were randomly assigned to a HIIT or endurance group for four weeks of intervention. Three days/week the HIIT group completed a 6 by 30second repeated Wingate protocol on the Concept II Ergometer at or above 100% VO2 peak, in which each 30s maximal effort was immediately followed by an active recovery of four-minutes. The endurance group completed 30 minutes of sub-maximal rowing at 65% of VO2 peak three days/week. After four weeks of intervention, post-testing took place, which was identical to baseline testing. Results from this study suggest HIIT was just as effective as endurance training at improving 2k time (mean ± SD; HIIT: 498.7 ± 23.1; Endurance: 497.5 ± 17.6). There were no significant within or between group differences in VO2 peak post-intervention (mean ± SD; HIIT: 44.8 ± 4.0; Endurance: 45.8 ± 5.6). The current study suggests four-weeks of HIIT training can yield similar adaptations in performance when compared to endurance training.
Download or read book Comparison of Two Different Sprint Interval Training Work to rest Ratios on Acute Metabolic and Inflammatory Responses written by Christopher R. Harnish and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High intensity exercise is believed to yield greater results on health and human performance than moderate intensity exercise. Extensive research indicates that not only do high-intensity interval training (HIT) and sprint interval training (SIT) produce significant improvements in cardiovascular fitness and disease, they may be more effective at improving long-term metabolic function, including insulin sensitivity (Si), by producing more mitochondria. Moreover, compliance rates for HIT and SIT participation are reported to be the same or better than traditional moderate intensity exercise. Because lack of time is often cited as major hindrance to exercise participation, SIT is also seen as a time efficient option to improve health and performance. It does appear, however, that repeated sessions of SIT are needed before overall improvements can be measured. SIT protocols employing maximal 30 sec sprints with ~5 min rest [a 1:9 work-to-rest ratio (W:R)], have garnered much of the research focus, while those using minimal rest periods, like Tabata which uses 20 sec sprints and 10 sec rest (2:1 W:R), have been ignored. This may omit a possible SIT option that could influence acute and chronic adaptations. The role of inflammatory cytokines on Si remains an area of continued research. While endurance exercise is thought to create an overall anti-inflammatory environment that stimulates improvement in Si, SIT is often viewed as pro-inflammatory. However, few studies have provided significant insight into cytokine release following SIT, and none haveexplored its impact on Si. In addition, the impact of W:R on cytokine remains speculative at best. Therefore, the examination of the effect of different sprint protocols of similar total work (kJ) on performance, metabolic function, and inflammatory response may provide valuable insight into these adaptive processes.
