Aerobic Adaptations With Various Training Methods

The goal of this intervention study is to compare the adaptations after a 6-week training period between an intense continuous and a high-intensity interval training program performed under iso-effort conditions on aerobic performance parameters in young healthy adults. The main question it aims to answer are if the intense continuous and a high-intensity interval training programs will induce similar adaptations in maximal (VO2max and PTV) and submaximal (critical velocity, lactate threshold parameters and running economy) aerobic performance parameters. Participants will be ere randomly assigned either to an intense continuous training group (CON) or to a high-intensity interval training group (INT). The training program will comprise of 14 training sessions performed over a 6-week period.

Inclusion criteriaAll participants should have been involved in low intensity continuous training,All participants should have been training 1-3 times per week for 30-45 min for at least three months.Exclusion criteriaNot familiar with aerobic trainingAny health issues that did not allow participation in regular exercise training.
