Concurrent Effects of Plyometric Interval Training Implemented in Physical Education Lessons on Adolescent Power and Endurance: An Analysis of Responder Prevalence

Sports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(1), P. 15 - 15

Published: Jan. 9, 2025

Schools provide an ideal setting for enhancing adolescents' health and fitness. Short-term intensive interventions are particularly relevant, but the effectiveness of plyometric exercises in jointly improving aerobic anaerobic performance remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate effects plyometric-based training, form interval workouts during physical education lessons, on power endurance adolescents. A total 87 boys 95 girls (aged 14-15 years) participated 8-week intervention, performing twice weekly classes. The analyzed parameters were jump height (JH) measured by countermovement (CMJ) distance covered multistage fitness test (MFT). results showed significant improvements among participating JH experiment MFT (p < 0.05); thus, effect sizes relatively small (ES 0.3). Also, prevalence positive responders was more common than girls; however, difference statistically insignificant = 0.09). These findings suggest that training has potential fitness, even context developing opposing abilities, boys. However, varied across individuals generally small, highlighting need optimize intervention achieve pronounced tailored individual characteristics.

Impact of combined high-intensity bodyweight interval training and breathing exercise on cardiometabolic health in normal-weight middle-aged adults with hypertension

BMC Public Health, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 25(1)

Published: March 11, 2025

High-intensity interval training and breathing exercises alone have well-documented health benefits in people with hypertension. This study aimed to investigated the effects of combining two methods on physical among adults Ninety-six (59.4 ± 9.1 years; 84% female; BMI 22.7 1.6 kg/m2) hypertension were randomized into one four groups: Breathing Exercise (BE), High-Intensity Bodyweight Interval Training (HIBIT), Combined (CE), or a Non-Exercise Control (CON) group. The intervention lasted 10 weeks, all exercise groups having same total time 3 days per week (BE: 30 min/day; HIBIT: 60 CE: BE min/day plus HIBIT min/day). Resting heart rate, resting blood pressure, hand grip strength, cardiorespiratory fitness assessed using 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) lipids measured pre- post-intervention. group showed greatest reduction systolic pressure (SBP) compared CON, although differences not statistically significant. increase 6MWT values combined differed significantly other three (p = 0.000 effect size 0.296). significant reductions cholesterol, LDL triglyceride levels control average cholesterol was 20.8 mg/dL (95% C: -41.9 – 0.4) an 0.103.

Effects of a 6-Week Concurrent Training Program Combining Resistance and Various Modalities of Aerobic Exercise in Obese Women with Prehypertension: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Metabolites, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(4), P. 278 - 278

Published: April 17, 2025

Background/Objectives: Our study aimed to verify the effects of 6 weeks concurrent training composed resistance (RT) and different modalities aerobic exercise (moderate-intensity continuous (MICT) or high-intensity interval (HIIT)) on body composition, blood pressure, vascular function, autonomic nervous system (ANS) lipid levels, cardiometabolic index (CMI), health-related fitness in obese middle-aged women with prehypertension. Methods: We selected 26 obesity prehypertension divided them equally into RT + MICT (n = 13) HIIT groups. The program consisted warm-up, RT, (MICT HIIT), cool-down, was performed for weeks, three times a week, 85–100 min per session. measured dependent parameters were analyzed before after training. Results: Concurrent (RT HIIT) showed significant improvements ANS CMI, fitness. However, group relatively greater improvement levels compared group. Conclusions: confirmed that both yielded similar positive most Among them, appeared be more effective improving profiles.

Effects of combined high-intensity interval and moderate-intensity continuous training vs. moderate-intensity continuous training alone in male adolescents: a randomized controlled trial

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: April 17, 2025

This study aims to investigate the combining effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous (MICT) compared MICT alone on physical fitness, academic performance, anxiety levels among adolescents in a school setting. Sixty male were randomly assigned either an experimental group (HIIT + MICT) or control (MICT only) for 12 weeks. Physical fitness was assessed using lung capacity, 50-meter sprint, standing long jump, 1000-meter run. Anxiety measured Zung Self-Rating Scale, cognitive performance through evaluations. Statistical analyses included Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney U, unpaired t-tests, chi-square, McNemar tests. After weeks, showed significant increase capacity (10.30 ml/kg) (3.18 ml/kg, P = 0.03). Sprint run completion times also significantly faster (P < 0.01 0.02), with greater improvements jump 0.01). Academic improved 0.02 0.01), while exhibited no changes. demonstrated that HIIT results adolescent cardiorespiratory anaerobic outcomes, alone. These findings support incorporation alongside traditional adolescents. The retrospectively registered clinical trials registry 26/04/2023 (ChiCTR2300070895).
