There are variable responses to short-term periods of increased training load in endurance
athletes, whereby some athletes improve without deleterious effects on performance, while …

Introduction Our recent meta-analyses have demonstrated that high-intensity interval
training (HIIT) causes a range of mean changes in various measures and predictors of …

Background Recent research has demonstrated decreases in resting metabolic rate (RMR),
body composition and performance following a period of intensified training in elite athletes …

The aim of this study was to compare heart rate variability-guided (HRVG) and
predetermined (PD) block periodization of high intensity aerobic training (HIT). Endurance …

In short-term studies, block periodization of high-intensity training (HIT) has been shown to
be an effective strategy that enhances performance and related physiological factors …

Background Block periodization (BP) has been proposed as an alternative to traditional
(TRAD) organization of the annual training plan for endurance athletes. Objective To our …

Introduction Meta-analysts have found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves
physical performance, but limited evidence exists regarding its effects on highly trained …

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of heat acclimatization (HAz)
followed by heat acclimation (HA) on physiological adaptations. 25 male endurance athletes …

Background/Aim. High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) is a popular mixed-modal
program that utilizes both resistance and aerobic based exercises. The aim of this study was …
