Summary

The project titled "Time at VO2max During High-Intensity Interval Training Manipulating Work and Rest" aims to investigate how different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols influence the time athletes spend at or above 90% of their VO2max. By adjusting the work-to-rest ratios in the HIIT formats, the study seeks to determine which configurations maximize the time spent in this high-intensity zone, contributing to more effective endurance training strategies. The findings could help optimize training protocols for athletes targeting improvements in aerobic capacity and performance.

Conditions

• High Intensity Interval Exercise (HIIE)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Short Intervals HIIT	Participants will undergo different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols, which involve repeated bouts of exercise at an intensity above 90% of VO2max, followed by recovery periods. The work and rest durations will vary across the protocols to assess the impact on the total time spent at or above 90% of VO2max.
PROCEDURE	Long intervals HIIT	Participants will undergo different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols, which involve repeated bouts of exercise at an intensity above 90% of VO2max, followed by recovery periods. The work and rest durations will vary across the protocols to assess the impact on the total time spent at or above 90% of VO2max.
