The purpose of this study is to compare standard endurance training methods with High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to see how these training approaches affect elite athletes' endurance performance. The study will compare athletes doing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with those following traditional endurance training regimens in terms of physiological adaptations, including VO2 max, lactate threshold, and muscle endurance. A comparative comparison of training protocols, performance indicators, and the study's implications for improving training regimens in competitive sports will all be included.

Because of its potential to improve endurance performance in elite athletes, high-intensity interval training, or HIIT, has received a lot of interest in the sports training community. This study compares how HIIT and conventional endurance training techniques affect elite athletes' physiological responses and performance outcomes. The theoretical framework is established by a thorough analysis of the literature, which also highlights the mechanisms by which HIIT may affect other factors including VO2 max, lactate threshold, and muscle endurance. Using a randomized controlled trial design as its methodology, the study enlists top athletes from a range of sports to take part in either typical endurance training programs or HIIT for a predetermined amount of time. Training efficacy is evaluated by analyzing performance indicators, such as sport-specific performance tests and physiological marker assessments conducted before and after training. The findings should clarify the ways in which HIIT and conventional endurance training differ in their impact on sports performance. They should also provide coaches and sports scientists with advice on the best ways to train athletes to maximize their endurance capacity in competitive sports environments. This subject makes it possible to examine in-depth a well-liked sport training technique, providing information on its usefulness and potential applications for improving athletic performance.
