No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Aerobic capacity is critical for many athletes, especially for endurance athletes. Althgough several training methods are implemented by coaches to improve endurance performance, recovery following acute endurance training is not adequately studied. However, such information is crucial for coaches to effectively design the most favorable training program, to avoid muscle injuries and overtraining, and ultimately to improve performance of their athletes. This study aims to examine the acute effect of different continuous and HIIT training protocols on indices of metabolism, EIMD, neuromuscular fatigue and performance in middle- and long-distance runners.
