Comparison of interval and continuous training in the aerobic power of physically active young adults
Abstract
Many studies have shown aerobic interval training as an effective method to develop aerobic power, measured by maximum oxygen consumption. Under the Brazilian Army can find is planned to manual activity, among other forms of development of physical skills.The aim of this study was to compare the effects on the 12-minute running test into two homogeneous groups, with continuous and Interval intervention, formed by soldiers incorporated in the year 2015 in the Head Quarters of the city of Itaqui -RS, evaluated pre and post intervention, in a period of 8 weeks with increasing burden stimulus. Was evaluated through the results in 12 minutes test, the final performance in each group, and compared the results achieved in the tests between them, where the continuous intervention group showed a significant difference between the tests (p = 0.001), with median in the pre-intervention of 3150 meters test, and 3300 meters in the post-test, and the interval intervention group 3100 and 3300, the test pre and post-intervention, respectively (p = 0.001), demonstrating that both methods are beneficial the development of aerobic power. In the assessment there was no difference between groups, both in the test pre (p = 0.47) and in the post-intervention (p = 0.827), suggesting that an interval sprint training, compared to continuous running under the same frequency, over an eight week period, influence the aerobic power gain of physically active young positively, but no evidence that training is more effective than the other.
