Abstract

Background: It is well known that exercise training has positive effects low volume high intensity training is a famous form of therapeutic and purposeful exercise. Despite their popularity, few empirical researches have investigated the advantages of low volume high intensity training in relation to sports activities performance. Which make it challenging to compare protocols with different intensities and volumes. In addition, previous studies have not reported adherence to their protocols, which could have an important clinical impact on designing exercise protocol for sedentary healthy individuals.  Method: Therefore the purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of low volume high intensity training on physical fitness variables such as speed, muscular endurance, and flexibility of healthy individuals. In this study thirty (30) subjects, of healthy individuals were randomly selected in Low Volume High Intensity training group and in non low volume high intensity group, fifteen (15) in each group. (n=30; age 18 ± 3.04; height 1.70 ± 6.71 cm; weight=59 ± 7.38 kg). Timeline: The low volume high intensity training consisted of 45-60 min/day, 3 days in a week till eight weeks from the srmist playground in and around the kattankulathur campus in chennai. Physical fitness variables completed of the both groups at zero time and after eight weeks of low volume high intensity training in experimental group and in non low volume high intensity control group. Results: In present study, Speed (10.22), Muscular endurance (11.17) and Flexibility (18.71) were changed significantly. Conclusion: The results show that’s LVHIT protocol was more efficient for improving physical fitness variables than the control group after eight weeks of training. Increasingly, changes in some further studies should elaborate on the link between physical fitness adaptations as after LVHIT covered in this study are beneficial for the healthy individuals.
