    High-intensity training significantly improved hockey players' peak running speed, VO2 max, and endurance. However, the training did not alter blood lactate or glucose responses to maximal sprints, leaving adaptation mechanisms unclear.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Science
    • Exercise Physiology
    • Human Performance

    Background:

    • Hockey demands high-intensity anaerobic and aerobic capacity.
    • Understanding training adaptations is crucial for optimizing player performance.
    • Previous research has explored various training modalities for athletes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of a 6-week high-intensity training program on physiological responses in hockey players.
    • To compare the performance and physiological changes between trained and untrained groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Twelve county standard hockey players underwent high-intensity training (sprints, intervals, circuit training) for 6 weeks.
    • Both trained and 11 untrained club standard players completed treadmill sprint and VO2 max tests before and after the training period.

  • Measurements included peak running speed, distance, VO2 max, time to exhaustion, blood lactate, and blood glucose.

    • Main Results:

    • The trained group showed significant improvements in peak running speed (11.1%), sprint distance (5.0%), VO2 max (4.2%), and time to exhaustion (11.5%).
    • No significant changes were observed in the untrained control group.
    • Maximal sprints acutely increased blood lactate and glucose, but training did not further alter these acute responses.

    Conclusions:

    • A 6-week high-intensity training program effectively enhances aerobic and anaerobic performance in hockey players.
    • The underlying physiological mechanisms for adaptation to brief maximal exercise, particularly concerning metabolic responses, require further investigation.
