The Moderating Role of Recovery Durations in High-Intensity Interval-Training Protocols.

Over recent years, multiple studies have tried to optimize the exercise intensity and duration of work intervals in high-intensity-interval training (HIIT) protocols. Although an optimal work interval is of major importance to facilitate training adaptations, an optimal HIIT protocol can only be achieved with an adequate recovery interval separating work bouts. Surprisingly, little research has focused on the acute responses and long-term impact of manipulating recovery intervals in HIIT sessions.

The effects of recovery duration on physiological and perceptual responses of trained runners during four self-paced HIIT sessions.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of different recovery durations on self-selected running velocities, physiological responses, and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) in a commonly used high intensity interval training (HIIT) protocol.

Design & Methods: Twelve trained runners performed an incremental treadmill exercise test to determine maximal oxygen uptake (V˙Omax) and heart rate (HRmax). In four subsequent visits, participants performed a HIIT session comprising six 4-min work intervals, in which the recovery duration between work intervals equalled either a fixed (1MIN, 2MIN, 3MIN) or a self-selected duration (ssMIN).

The physiological and perceptual demands of running on a curved non-motorised treadmill: Implications for self-paced training.

Objectives: To compare physiological and perceptual response of running on a curved non-motorized treadmill (cNMT) with running on a motorized treadmill (MT), and to determine the running velocity at which a physiological response≥90% V˙Omax was elicited.

Design & Methods: 13 trained male runners (mean±SD; 36±11years, 1.80±0.

Maturation-related differences in adaptations to resistance training in young male swimmers.

The behavior of an opponent alters pacing decisions in 4-km cycling time trials.

Introduction: The present study aimed to explore how athletes respond to different behaviors of their opponents.

Methods: Twelve moderately to highly physically active participants with at least two years of cycling experience completed four 4-km time trials on a Velotron cycle ergometer. After a familiarization time trial (FAM), participants performed three experimental time trials in randomized order with no opponent (NO), a virtual opponent who started slower and finished faster compared to FAM (OP-SLOWFAST), or a virtual opponent who started faster and finished slower compared to FAM (OP-FASTSLOW).
