The Greatest Show on Earth*
It’s been a year since I first wrote on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning methods and their application to our field of sports science. But a year feels like a century in the field of data science today. Just consider the pace at which new...

High-Intensity Interval Training: The key strategy to maintain fitness during periods of reduced activity
Periods of reduced training, or training cessation, naturally lead to decreased fitness. The reduction in aerobic fitness that occurs will be inversely related to the aerobic training load accumulated before the period of reduced training. Using more technical jargon,...

Juggling Research and Practice in Sport
Sport researchers, such as academics and PhD students, who undertake applied research projects, naturally hope that their research findings will inform practice and improve sporting outcomes. At the same time, sport practitioners, including coaches and...

Heat Acclimatization – What? Why? How?
Over the next couple of years, two of the world’s largest sporting events are happening in the hottest places on earth. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics are forecast to see temperatures in excess of 33.3oC (92oF) whilst the FIFA World Cup, scheduled to take place in Qatar in...

HIIT your physiological target in sprint kayak
A logical approach to physiological targeting with HIIT is well described throughout HIIT Science. We know that development of our biological targets (aerobic, anaerobic, neuromuscular) can be stimulated with the right type of training, alongside alignment with the particularities of our context (e.g. athlete profile, sport demands, environmental constraints). This is the bird’s eye view that the coach will want to take to form their decisions regarding HIIT prescription.

Logical HIIT solutions in professional soccer
Following the recent post and article (1) on high-speed running (HSR) management, I have since written a second short opinion piece for Sport Performance & Science Reports (2), where I offer further guidelines for coaches and practitioners for programming HSR and MW sequences in relation to technical training content and match schedules (i.e., different weekly microcycles).

HIIT without carbs? Maybe, no problem
Within HIIT Science, Chapter 4 describes how carbohydrate availability can be manipulated around HIIT sessions to alter the acute physiological strain and subsequent response. Indeed, it’s been repeatedly shown across numerous studies that dietary carbohydrate...

Why the HIIT Types?
We probably get that question the most at HIIT Science. It’s an important issue to be clear on, because understanding HIIT Types opens a window of opportunity for understanding solutions to your programming puzzle.

Martin recently caught up with Ryan Parker of Human Kinetics to answer a number of questions that readers have about HIIT. We’ve republished the summary and video here for our HIIT Science audience.

High-speed running load management with HIIT in professional soccer players
I think that we can all appreciate the importance of keeping our players fit and healthy. One means of achieving this in our athletes is through the maintenance of a stable and constant training stimulus. As most of us now realize, when we see large spikes in training load, and especially the high-speed running (HSR) component, we often see injuries.
