To evaluate the morphological, physiological, and performance adaptations associated with high-intensity interval training alongside sport-specific training in Olympic combat sports athletes.
Systematic search conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases yielding 117 records, with 9 studies meeting inclusion criteria.
Included a cumulative sample of N=228 athletes across judo (n=138), taekwondo (n=40), boxing (n=18), karate (n=17), and wrestling (n=15).
High-intensity interval training protocols yielded no significant alterations in body mass or body fat percentage.
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) or peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) increased following training interventions, with observed improvements ranging from 4.4% to 23.0%.
Anaerobic conditioning exhibited the most consistent enhancement, evidenced by widespread improvements in anaerobic power and anaerobic capacity.

Implication

Systematic review shows high-intensity interval training enhances aerobic and anaerobic performance in Olympic combat athletes, indicating effective conditioning without altering body composition.
