This study aimed to compare the effects of sprint interval training versus traditional on running performance in well-trained male distance runners. Twenty runners (VO2: 67.4 ± 4.5 mL/kg/min, personal best time for 5000 m: 14'38″47 00'23″46) were recruited and randomly assigned either intervention (IT) group, which performed training, or control (CT) engaged long-distance training. Both groups completed their respective regimens twice a week 6 weeks. Measurements VO2max, O2 cost, exhaustion (TTE), times 100, 400, 3000 m taken before after intervention. The results indicated that IT group showed significant improvements TTE across (all P < 0.01), while CT only demonstrated 400 (P 0.01). exhibited superior compared Analysis effect sizes revealed small moderate physiological measures with VO2max showing size 0.43, cost 0.65, 0.77. These findings suggest may offer benefits enhancing runners, particularly middle-to events, longdistance
