Training Intensity Distribution of a 7-Day HIIT Shock Microcycle: Is Time in the "Red Zone" Crucial for Maximizing Endurance Performance? A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Various studies have shown that the type of intensity measure affects training intensity distribution (TID) computation. These conclusions arise from studies presenting data from meso- and macrocycles, while microcycles, e.g., high-intensity interval training shock microcycles (HIIT-SM) have been neglected so far. Previous literature has suggested that the time spent in the high-intensity zone, i.e., zone 3 (Z3) or the "red zone", during HIIT may be important to achieve improvements in endurance performance parameters. Therefore, this randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the TID based on running velocity (TID_V), running power (TID_P) and heart rate (TID_HR) during a 7-day HIIT-SM. Twenty-nine endurance-trained participant were alloc
