Effects of Sprint Interval Training on Field Hockey Players.

Field hockey is a team sport that is played using sticks and balls. Player's motions are impromptu and determine how competitive matches are played. Athletes can enhance their performance through a variety of training regimens. "Sprint Interval Training," for short bursts of maximal or supramaximal exercise, is one type of training used to improve sports performance. During recovering intervals, participants alternate between passive rest or light to moderately hard work. In both skilled and novice players, Sprint interval training significantly increases anaerobic and aerobic performance. This study aims to determine the impact of sprint interval training on hockey player's running performance, speed, and direction changes.
