Abstract

Specifically,
high intensive interval training (HIIT) may induce fatigue, which is a natural
physiological response. Fatigue decreases dynamic balance ability and
subsequently may negatively affect technical performance such as passing,
shooting and dribbling. These technical skills are an important component of
soccer players. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects
of HIIT on balance ability and the time required for turning back to baseline
in young athletes. Twenty one soccer players (12 males, 9 females, age = 21.76
± 3.09 years; weight = 64.5 ± 9.8 kg; height = 169.4 ± 7.18 cm) having no
history of lower extremity injury participated in this study. The Biodex SD
balance system was used in order to determine the non-dominant athletic
single-leg stability. To become familiar with athletic single leg balance
testing on the BBS, the subjects performed six practice testing sessions within
a week. Monark cycle ergometer was used for high intensity anaerobic exercise.
Each subject performed four maximal efforts cycling on an electronically
braking cycle ergometer against a resistance equivalent to 0.075kg/kg body mass
for 30 seconds with three-minute rest intervals. Subjects were verbally
encouraged to continue pedaling as fast as possible throughout the each test.
After four maximal cycling, subsequently subjects performed athletic single leg
stability test and then repeated same test with a five-minute passive rest
period for 4 times. The result of this study has indicated that, HIIT negatively
effects single leg dynamic balance ability (p<0.05). Furthermore, single leg
balance ability turn to the baseline status after 10 minutes passive recovery
duration (p>0.05).
