Re: [RC] Interval Training Abstract - Truman Prevatt

Tom,

My track coach told me that in 1960 - this is old news. Sounds like someone needed to get a paper out - just to get a paper out.

INTERVAL TRAINING BENEFITS AEROBIC CAPACITY MORE THAN CONTINUOUS TRAINING

Thomas, T. R., Adeniran, S. B., & Etheridge, G. L. (1984). Effects of different running programs on VO2max, percent fat, and plasma lipids. Canadian Journal of Applied Sport Sciences, 9, 55-62.



Interval training and continuous running were compared for effects on physiological adaptations. Untrained men and women were randomly assigned to four groups: 1) running continuously at 75% HRmax for four miles; 2) running continuously at 75% HRmax for two miles; 3) eventually running eight one minute intervals at 90% HR max with three minute recovery intervals; and 4) no exercise control. Males (N = 24) and females (N = 35) completed the study. Training sessions were conducted three times per week for 12 weeks.

Only the interval training group improved significantly more than the control group in VO2max. The response to training was similar between genders, although values differed between them. There were no differences in percent body fat changes, triglycerides, cholesterol, and high density lipoproteins.

Implication. Interval training benefits aerobic capacity more than does continuous training.
