IMPACTS OF INTERMITTENT HIGH-INTENSITY TRAINING ON AEROBICS STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE

IMPACTOS DO TREINAMENTO INTERMITENTE DE ALTA INTENSIDADE SOBRE O DESEMPENHO DOS ESTUDANTES DE AERÓBICA

IMPACTOS DEL ENTRENAMIENTO INTERMITENTE DE ALTA INTENSIDAD EN EL RENDIMIENTO DE ESTUDIANTES DE AERÓBIC

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The performance of aerobics students during competition is closely related to the level of complexity of their movements. The requirement of muscular strength associated with sensorial precision to reach maximum athletic performance demands more specialized training, and the intermittent high-intensity training technique can supply these demands.

Objective:

Study the impacts of intermittent high-intensity training on the performance of aerobics students in the execution of their movements.

Methods:

Forty-eight aerobics students were selected and equally divided into two groups. The experimental group was given high-intensity intermittent training using the experimental control, while the control group was given no relevant intervention. The intervention lasted nine weeks, respecting the normal course of these students’ practice classes. Movement quality was assessed before and after the experiment by the systematic balance test

Results:

The degree of movement completion of the experimental group was close to 2 points, rising to 2.5 points at the end of the movement, and the difficulty level was changed from 1.5 to 2 points. When to the control group, it initiated in 2 points, and after the intervention, it was significantly less to the experimental group. The difficulty level remained at 1.5 points, collected before and after the experiment.

Conclusion:

High-intensity interval training can improve the performance of aerobics students, acting favorably on the level of complexity of the movements of their sport. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
