First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026

Summary

This trial compares two common training methods—sprint interval training and continuous aerobic conditioning—to see which better improves running economy, endurance, and fatigue resistance in healthy runners aged 18 to 30. Participants will be assigned to one of the two groups and tested on measures like repeated sprints, time to exhaustion, and VO₂ max. The goal is to determine which approach offers greater benefits for performance and stamina.
