Specific wushu sanda high-intensity interval training protocol improved physical fitness of amateur athletes’: A pilot study

Abstract

<p><em>Objective: </em>To investigate the effects of the addition of a specific high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT) protocol to the habitual training on the physical fitness of amateur wushu sanda athletes. <em>Methods: </em>This is an experimental study in which 6 amateur regional level wushu sanda athletes (24.6±6.4 yrs, 1.70±0.1m height, and 71.3±7.3kg weight) underwent a 2 session/week training program for 4 weeks. The HIIT specific protocol was composed of 3 rounds of 2 minutes with 1-minute intervals in between, simulating a match duration. Each round was divided into 8 blocks of 15 seconds. Each block was composed of 5 seconds of high-intensity activities, 5 seconds of low-intensity activities and 5 seconds of pause. Countermovement jump, squat jump, horizontal jump, aerobic fitness (TKDtest) and kick speed test (FSOK) were applied.<em> Results:</em> Athletes presented performance increases in countermovement jump (from 41±5.7 to 47.3±7.3cm, <em>p</em>=0.007, <em>g</em>=0.88), horizontal jump (from 1.7±0.4 to 2.3±0.3cm, <em>p</em>=0.01, <em>g</em>=1.56) and in the FSOK test (from 19.8±1.7 to 23.0±2.5 kicks, <em>p</em>=0.003, <em>g</em>=1.38). The resting heart rate decreased (from 120±8.3 to 107±11.4 bpm, <em>p</em>=0.03, <em>g</em>=1.20) and the time to exhaustion increased (from 8.5±1.8 to 13.1±1.4 min, <em>p</em>=0.003, <em>g</em>=2.63), as well as the number of kicks (from 187±55.3 to 368±39.8 kicks,<em> p</em>=0.001, <em>g</em>=3.46). <em>Conclusion:</em><strong> </strong>Despite the small sample size, the large effect sizes found support the conclusion that<strong> </strong>the addition of a specific HIIT wushu sanda protocol to amateur athletes' training routine can lead to neuromuscular, aerobic and anaerobic performance improvements.</p>

Analysis of the Physical Fitness of Trained Individuals in Power, Speed, and Agility: A Descriptive Study

“…This is determined by two characteristics: (1) physical capacity to carry out daily activities enthusiastically; (2) low risk of early hypokinetic disorders, such as physical exercise. Information from physical fitness evaluations is used to address individual-specific health goals and rehabilitative needs [25]. Physical fitness is the ability of the limbs to exercise without getting tired quickly.…”

Intervensi Latihan High Intensity Interval Training Terhadap Strength Endurance Olahraga Pencak Silat (Ekstrimitas Bawah)

“…Menerapkan prosedur dan tahapan penelitian (Rafael et al, 2020) peneliti tertarik melakukan studi lapangan menguji kefektifan protokol HIIT spesifik terhadap kemampuan strength endurance atlet. Studi ini merupakan penelitian pendahuluan untuk menginvestigasi Latihan strength spesifik cabang olahraga pencak silat berdasar karakteristik pertandingan pencak silat, pencak silat merupakan olahraga intermitten yang mendasari Latihan spesifik cabang olahraga mempertimbangkan bahwa tubuh beradaptasi dengan jenis kebutuhan pertandingan, namun Latihan spesifik Latihan strength and conditioning cabang olahraga combat sangat mempertimbangkan bentuk simulai gerakan atau intensitas dengan asumsi bahwa Latihan tersebut memberi efek positif untuk performa olahraga combat (Franchini, 2020;Monteiro et al, 2020;Øvretveit, 2020)…”
