Effects of 4-week velocity-based HIIT on athletic performance in youth soccer players.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Young soccer players need to enhance their athletic performance, including speed and endurance. Traditional training methods may not be effective enough to improve athletic performance in these young athletes. Velocity-based high-intensity interval training (vHIIT) workouts can increase the efficiency of energy systems and improve athletic performance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of four weeks of vHIIT on athletic performance in young soccer players.

Method

A total of 14 male soccer players participated in the study (mean age: 18.9 ± 1.0 years, body mass: 76.5 ± 5.3 kg, height: 1.81 ± 0.08 m). Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 7) or a control group (n = 7). While the control group continued their
