Abstract:Introduction: The statement emphasizes the value of exercise in decreasing the risk of several chronic diseases and enhancing general health. Obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease have all been linked to a lack of physical activity. Exercise is therefore advised as a helpful strategy to counteract inactive lifestyles and enhance health results. Different types of exercise training can have varying impacts on cardiovascular responses, body composition changes, and ultimately physical performance. By identifying the activity that yields the greatest positive impact, it becomes possible to provide practical recommendations for implementing high-quality physical activity interventions that will benefit adolescents and improve their physical activity levels and capacity indicators. This study aims to investigate the impact of high-intensity continuous training on physical performance. This information can be valuable in designing targeted interventions and strategies to promote regular physical activity and improve health outcomes among the population, specifically focusing on adolescents.
Material and Methods: The present study is based on a descriptive and comparative plan. The participants were composed of 22 healthy students (11 males and 11 females) recruited from Nakhon Phanom University, Thailand. Participants were required to complete all workouts conducted 3 times a week for 8 weeks. The tests were used to assess physical performance, such as body weight, body mass index, the sum of four skinfolds (Σ4 skinfolds), muscular strength, and oxygen consumption were determined before and after exercise training. A paired t-test has been used to examine impairment in physical performance in adolescents.
Results: Twenty-two volunteers male and female, aged 18.55±.51 years, with a height of 163.52±6.46 cm, a body weight of 55.70±3.94 kg and a body mass index (BMI) of 20.92±1.61 kg/m2 took part in this study. The study shows that there was a significant difference before and after continuous high-intensity workouts in body weight (P=.04), body mass index (P=.00) body fat (%), (P=.00) muscle strength (p=.07), and oxygen consumption (P=.00).
Conclusion: Continuous high-intensity training has a positive effect on body weight, body mass index, body fat, muscle strength, and the cardiovascular system. Therefore, it is suggested to consider these elements as a guide in the planning of aerobic training, in order to better physical performance. In the component of cardiovascular health, and adiposity on overweight adding in adolescents.
