Boosting Aerobic Endurance through a 10-Day Intensive Training Protocol: The Impact of Short-Term HIIT Evaluated by the Yo-Yo Recovery Test Level 1

Description
This study evaluates the impact of a 10-day High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) program on athletic performance in female athletes, focusing on aerobic endurance and rapid recovery. Improvements were assessed using the Yo-Yo Recovery Level 1 Test to determine the efficacy of short-term HIIT in enhancing these performance metrics, providing insights into its effectiveness for young female athletes. Methods: The study involved eight female U16 National Team basketball players (mean height: 172.9 ± 9.7 cm, mean weight: 63.1 ± 10.1 kg). During the 10-day training camp, participants followed a structured regimen combining HIIT with basketball-specific drills to improve aerobic endurance and overall athletic performance. Performance assessments were conducted before and after the camp using the Yo-Yo Recovery Level 1 Test. Data analysis involved calculating the effect size using the formula: ES = (x_posttest - x_pretest) / SD_pretest to gauge the training's impact. Results: Effect size calculations revealed that the HIIT intervention significantly enhanced YoYo test performance, with an effect size of 2.32 ± 1.09. This large effect indicates substantial improvements in the athletes' capacity for intermittent recovery. According to sports science standards, an effect size above 2.0 is considered 'very large,' underscoring the HIIT regimen's impact on aerobic endurance and overall fitness. Conclusion: The results strongly suggest the training camp successfully conditioned the athletes, indicating that such regimens could be valuable for preparing players for the demands of highlevel competition. Additionally, the large effect size may reflect the athletes' relatively low baseline fitness before the camp.
