ABSTRACT
Abstract Aim:
To verify the effects of a 2-week of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on physical performance in young female athletes.Methods:
female rugby players (n = 13; 15.92 ± 0.76 years old) participated in an 8-session of HIIT supervised through online video calls for two weeks. They were evaluated pre- and post-HIIT for 3-min of burpees, 1-min of sit-ups, maximum push-ups, and 1-min of squats. Perceptions related to training protocols were collected through the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) post-intervention.Results:
Significant improvements in burpees (pre54.15 ± 18.03 and after 63.15 ± 15.18), sit-ups (pre24.38 ± 13.38 and after 31.15 ± 13.15), push-ups (pre 9.46 ± 6.59 and after 13.85 ± 7.33) and squats (pre 48.00 ± 8.37 and after 54.85 ± 8.79) were observed. PACES revealed positive perceptions related to the enjoyment of participating in this HIIT.Conclusion:
Virtually supervised HIIT improved physical performance in young female athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic, and maybe an efficient strategy for the quarantine period.Keywords
