Abstract: (1208 Views)
Background. Coaches predominantly utilize linear training protocols to enhance the aerobic power of football players. However, there is limited data on the effects of change of direction (COD) protocols on aerobic power in football.
Objectives. This study aimed to determine which high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program—linear (LHIIT) or change of direction (COD)—has a more significant impact on increasing aerobic power in senior female football players.
Methods. Sixty senior female football players were divided into two experimental groups: LHIIT (n=30) and COD (n=30). Both groups underwent a four-week HIIT protocol, with LHIIT involving linear exercises and COD incorporating change of direction exercises. Aerobic power was measured using the 30-15 intermittent fitness test (IFT), maximal aerobic velocity (MAV), and VO2max at the beginning and end of the study to assess the differences in aerobic adaptations between the two programs.
Results. The results indicated that the COD group eliminated the significant difference in VO2max that initially existed between the two groups, suggesting that COD protocols may be more effective in increasing aerobic power than linear ones. Additionally, both groups significantly improved the 30-15 IFT, MAV, and VO2max.
Conclusion. Both linear and change of direction HIIT protocols significantly enhance aerobic performance in senior female football players. However, COD protocols may have a more significant impact on VO2max improvement. Future research should explore the potential effects of COD protocols on anaerobic power and seek to identify even more effective HIIT strategies for enhancing VO2max.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- The conducted research complements the literature and provides a scientific, theoretical, and practical insight into women's football, addressing a gap compared to the extensive research on male players.
- HIIT training with a turn is better than (HIIT) training without turns regarding aerobic power. In this way, new scientific knowledge will be obtained.
- The study provides relevant information about two types of training that will be carried out without combining them with any other training, providing a clear picture of the concrete effects of these pieces of training.
