This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

This trial tests whether adding high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to regular soccer practice can improve fitness and sprinting in young male players. Twenty-four U19 players are split into two groups: one does extra HIIT sessions three times a week for eight weeks, while the other follows their usual routine. Researchers measure aerobic capacity, anaerobic power, sprint speed, and blood lactate levels before and after to see if the extra training makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
What this could lead to
If effective, HIIT could become a standard addition to youth soccer training to enhance fitness and on-field performance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. HIIT is demanding and carries a risk of injury or overtraining.
