Acute Effects of Two Different Concurrent Training Models on Physiological Parameters, Explosive Strenght and Balance Performance in Soccer Players

In the study, the acute effects of two different concurrent training models including high intensity interval training (HIIT) and high intensity interval functional training (HIFT) plus strength training (S) on physiological indicators (lactate and heart rate) and performance (balance and explosive power) parameters were examined in soccer players. A total of 13 moderately active young soccer players (19.92; ±1.44 years) participated in the study. In the study, body composition measurements, heart rate, lactate, explosive strength measurement and balance testing were measured. Training models (S+HIIT-S+HIFT) were applied sequentially with a crossover design. The training sessions were conducted with a three-day interval. Parameters were analyzed with SPSS24 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Repeated Measure Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used for repeated measures and Bonferroni Correction was used for pairwise comparisons. Significance level was accepted as p
