The influence of 10 weeks high-intensity interval Multiball training on aerobic fitness in adolescent table tennis players
Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2017, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
the main purpose of this study was to establish whether 10 weeks of high-intensity interval Multiball (hIMt) vs. continuous table tennis training (Ct) would have improvements in aerobic fitness of healthy adolescent players. twenty adolescent (12 males, 8 females) table tennis players (12.2±1.6 years, BMI 19.68 kg/m-2) were assigned to a hIMt or Ct groups (n=10 each) and performed three training Multiball or Continuous training sessions per week over a 10-week period, respectively. training time commitment over 10 weeks consisted of three groups of exercises, where each included five sets of high intensity 30sec (80 balls/min) Multiball exercises for hIMt and approximately 20 min. for Ct. high-intensity training seems to improve the maximal O 2 uptake (mean change: 1.82 ml/min/kg, std 2.64), and the concentration of Blood lactate (1.98 mmol /l). these values, although not statistically significant, show improved cardiopulmonary capacity after implementation of the intervention protocols in relation to the intensity of exercises. It seems that 10 weeks of Multiball table tennis training may result in changes in the cardiorespiratory capacity of adolescent table tennis.
