Training Intensity Distribution of a 7-Day HIIT Shock Microcycle: Is Time in the “Red Zone” Crucial for Maximizing Endurance Performance? A Randomized Controlled Trial
The present study reveals that the type of intensity measure strongly affects TID computation during a HIIT-SM. As heart rate tends to underestimate the intensity during HIIT-SM, heart rate-based training decisions should be made cautiously. In addition, time in Z3<sub>V</sub> was most closely associated with changes in endurance performance. Thus, for evaluating a HIIT-SM, we suggest integrating a comprehensive set of intensity measures. Trial Registration Trial register: Clinicaltrials.gov, registration number: NCT05067426.
