Molecular, Systemic, and Physiological Adaptations to High-Intensity Interval Training in Flatwater Kayak Athletes
An 8-week HIIT program effectively enhanced molecular signaling, systemic adaptation, and sport-specific performance in elite flatwater kayak athletes. The concurrent upregulation of anabolic, remodeling, and inflammatory pathways suggests that HIIT facilitates coordinated muscular and systemic adaptations beneficial for kayak performance.
