Abstract:
The intention of the
study is to compare traditional forms of endurance training with HIIT to
evaluate and examine their effects on as elite athletes’ endurance performance.
The study will compare elite athletes engaging in HIIT with those undertaking
traditional endurance training in regards to physiological adaptations,
including VO₂ max, lactate threshold, and muscular endurance. The
study will provide a comparative overview of training protocols and performance
variables and discuss its findings in regard to enhancing training protocols in
competitive sport. Due to its promise for enhancing endurance performance in
elite athletes, there has been interest expressed in HIIT or high intensity
training protocols within the sport training community. This study compares the
physiological responses to HIIT and traditional endurance training, and their
effects on performance outcomes in elite athletes. The theoretical context is
provided by careful systematic investigation of literature which also
identifies the mechanisms by which HIIT relates to physiological factors such
as, VO₂ max, lactate threshold, and muscular endurance. The study
employs a randomized controlled trial as its methodology and uses elite
athletes from different sports to participate in regular endurance training
programs or HIIT for a set duration. The effectiveness of the training is
assessed based on performance metrics or markers such as sport specific
performance tests, and physiological markers (e.g., oxygen consumption measure,
heart rate measures, lactate threshold) before training and post training. The
results will provide an understanding of the similarities and differences
between HIIT and traditional endurance training with respect to sport performance,
and offer coaches and sports scientists practical recommendations and guidance
around training athletes using HIIT in order to achieve optimum endurance
capacity within the context of sport competition. This topic allows for an
in-depth examination of a well-known sport training method providing insight
into its effectiveness and possible uses for athlete performance enhancement.
