It is relatively common to use high intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions in the same session as strength training with other muscle groups. The results of a study have recently been published (Andrade et al, 2021; J Sports Med Phys Fitness 61: 803; doi: 10.23736 / S0022-4707.20.11458-0) whose objective was to compare the effects of …

Athletes who participate in aerobic endurance sports, such as running, cycling, and cross-country skiing, use different training modalities to improve athletic performance. Peak performance in aerobic endurance sports has been shown to require a high level of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). However, in the previously mentionedsports disciplines, the effort of the competition is characterized by …
The possibilities when setting up high intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols are very high. Different studies in recent years have shown that there is no single valid configuration, but that the proposed goal can be achieved with different HIIT configurations. The results of a study have recently been published (Wommer et al, 2021; Int J …

Nutritional strategies can have an effect on body composition and physical performance. Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that alternates between periods of eating and fasting for specific periods of time. In addition, it is a common strategy in athletes seeking to lose body fat. However, this strategy can negatively affect physical performance, compared …

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is described as a succession of short-duration, maximum or near-maximum intensity efforts, alternated by periods of recovery during which exercise continues at a lower intensity (active recovery) or is interrupted ( passive recovery). The results of a study have recently been published (García de Frutos et al, 2021; Int J Environ …

Interval training has become an essential component of aerobic resistance training programs because it can facilitate a substantial improvement in performance. Two forms of interval training that are commonly used to improve aerobic endurance sports performance are high intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint interval training (SIT). Despite extensive research, there is no consensus on …

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective training modality for improving aerobic and anaerobic capacities. The results of a study have recently been published (Schmitz et al, 2019; J Sports Med Phys Fitness 2-May; doi: 10.23736 / S0022-4707.19.09690-7) whose objective was to investigate whether to progressively increase training volume based on HIIT (proHIIT) was …
