Physical fitness is the ability to do a physical activity and/or physical exercise using most of the body structures. ConclusionsĪ moderate beer or alcohol intake does not mitigate the positive effect of a 10-week HIIT on physical fitness in young healthy adults. No changes in the vertical jumps occurred in any of the groups. These positive effects were not influenced by the regular intake of beer or alcohol. HIIT induced significant improvements in absolute and relative values of VO 2max, and total test duration (all p < 0.05) in all the training groups also, clinical improvements were found in hand grip strength. Before and after the intervention, maximal oxygen uptake in absolute and relative terms (VO 2max.), maximal heart rate, total test duration, hand grip strength and four types of vertical jumps were measured. Men ingested 330 ml of the beverage at lunch and 330 ml at dinner women ingested 330 ml at dinner. Those choosing alcohol-free intake were randomized to (iii) T-Water group (sparkling water, 0.0% n = 16), or (iv) T-0.0Beer group (alcohol-free beer, 0.0% n = 15). Those choosing alcohol were randomized to either beer or ethanol intake: (i) T-Beer group (alcohol beer, 5.4% n = 13) or (ii) T-Ethanol (sparkling water with vodka, 5.4% n = 14). Participants in the training groups chose whether they preferred receiving alcohol or alcohol-free beverages. Four groups participated in the HIIT intervention program while the fifth group was a control Non-Training group ( n = 15). Methods: Young (24 ± 6 years old) healthy adults ( n = 73, 35 females) were allocated to five groups. The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of a 10-week (2 days/week) HIIT program on cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength and power parameters, and also to assess the possible influence on them of a moderate consumption of beer (at least from Monday to Friday) or its alcohol equivalent. Anaerobic metabolism works without oxygen, but the by-product is lactic acid.High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective approach to improve physical fitness, but consuming beer, which is a regular practice in many physically active individuals, may interfere with these effects. During the high-intensity efforts, the anaerobic system uses the energy stored in the muscles (glycogen) for short bursts of activity. Interval training works both the aerobic and the anaerobic system. But less formal interval training is still beneficial for average people who aren’t competitive athletes Interval workouts can be highly sophisticated and structured training that is designed for an athlete based on their sport, event, and current level of conditioning.Īn interval training workout may even be designed based upon the results of anaerobic threshold testing (AT) that includes measuring the blood lactate of an athlete during intense exercise. Interval training is built upon alternating short, high-intensity bursts of speed with slower, recovery phases throughout a single workout. This variation of interval training and speed work can be a simple or sophisticated routine, but the basics are still the same as the original fartlek training. Today, athletes use more structured interval training workouts and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to build speed and endurance. A runner would simply increase and decrease pace at will. An early form of interval training, fartlek (a Swedish term meaning “speed play”) was casual and unstructured. Interval training combines short, high-intensity bursts of speed, with slow, recovery phases, repeated during one exercise session. Interval training has been used by athletes for years to build fitness.
