High-intensity interval training modifies energy supply in male artistic gymnastics and improves floor-specific but not pommel horse-specific endurance performance
The results of the study show that 6 weeks of semi-specific HIIT can improve floor-specific endurance performance and increase the aerobic metabolism during floor and pommel horse routines. Faster VO<sub>2</sub> kinetics and the associated lower O<sub>2</sub> deficit seem to be important physiological parameters for these improvements.
