Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

The study aimed to observe the effects of Sprint Interval Training on aerobic capacity, muscle power, and sprint performance among sprinters. Athletes willing to participate were screened and those fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited. Participants will be divided into 2 groups namely Group A (SIT) and Group B (Control). The participants will be asked to perform 3 tests: Beep test, Sargent jump test, and 30-meter sprint test. The intervention group will undergo Sprint interval training. On a flat running track, a lane will be marked for 30 m. The instructions are to run the greatest distance possible in 30 seconds (shuttle run). And during the 4-minute recovery period, the athletes undergo active recovery. The intervention will be given for 6 sessions, 3 sessions per week. The data will be collected at baseline and the end of 2 weeks of training. Statistical Analysis will be done to determine the results of the study. Group A(SIT) showed significant improvements in Sprint performance with a decrease in sprint time from (4.26±0.19 to 3.87±0.24 s) from pre- to post-intervention and Group B also showed improvements in sprint performance with a decrease in sprint time from (4.48±0.27 to 4.28±0.27s). There was an improvement in Aerobic capacity in both groups as well with an average difference of 4.52 ml/kg/min in Group A and 3.03 ml/kg/min in Group B but statistical significance (p-value <0.001) was seen in Group A when compared to Group B. There was improvement in muscle power in both groups which was not statistically significant (p-value 0.16). The study concluded that Sprint interval training is a time-efficient strategy to induce rapid adaptations in VO2 max and improvements in muscle power and sprint time.
