The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on countermovement jump performance. Twenty-two male regional-level athletes (cyclic, n = 11; acyclic, n = 11) completed two HIIT sessions on separate days. A different work-interval duration was applied in each session to determine the short and long protocols. Countermovement jump tests were executed pre-effort and at the end of all series to assess the effect of fatigue on jumping performance. A decrease in jump performance was observed at the end of the third series (p < .001), and different jumping strategies were displayed by cyclic and acyclic athletes, expressed as significant differences in the velocity components, and in the performance outcomes during the braking sub-phase (p < .01). These differences also conditioned the neuromuscular responses to HIIT, affecting specific variables depending on the sport discipline. In conclusion, neuromuscular status was principally affected by the total series completed rather than by the type of protocol implemented. The present findings may be useful when conducting HIIT concurrently with other training contents.References
