HIIT superior to continuous training for muscle thickness and power gains in hockey players; extends RCT evidence for periodized interval protocols in athletes.
Does a periodized high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program improve body composition, muscle thickness, anaerobic power, and on-ice measures in hockey players?
Short-term high-intensity interval training elicits positive effects on muscle thickness, power, and on-ice performance in hockey players compared to continuous endurance training.
