Popis: | We examined changes in selected muscle performance parameters after 8 weeks of interval training using two opposite running inclinations. We hypothesized that the uphill training will affect endurance muscle performance outcomes, whereas the downhill training will affect power muscle performance outcomes. Fourteen physically active volunteers were randomly assigned into either the Uphill group (UG; n = 7; uphill interval running at +10% incline) or the Downhill group (DG; n = 7; downhill interval running at −10% incline) and completed 16 training sessions. Each session consisted of ten 30 s treadmill runs at 90% of maximum aerobic speed (MAS) with a work to rest ratio of 1:2. Vertical jump performance, isometric (MVC) and isokinetic torque of knee extensors and flexors, and fatigue of knee extensors were evaluated pre and post‐training. Moreover, body composition (via bioimpedance) and vastus lateralis muscle architecture (via ultrasonography) were assessed pre and post‐training. Relative lean tissue mass, relative fat mass, and squat jump (cm) significantly (p Trying for optimization of power performance and fatigue tolerance, the overall aim was to examine if by modulating the inclination of the running surface we could improve or maintain muscle strength/power characteristics. In conclusion, introducing variations in slope during HIIT could be used to induce specific improvements toward muscle endurance or power performance characteristics. |
