This study investigated the effects of an 8-week HIIT program on physical and physiological performance in adolescent female field hockey players. Participants were divided into two groups: one group continued their regular field hockey training, while the other group completed additional HIIT sessions three times per week.
After the intervention, the HIIT group demonstrated improvements in aerobic capacity (VO₂max), reaction time, balance, and standing long jump performance. A decrease in flexibility was observed in this group. The control group showed reductions in aerobic capacity and flexibility.
The findings suggest that adding HIIT to regular field hockey training may improve several key performance parameters in adolescent female athletes.

Circumstances distinguishing this study from other studies:
Although there are studies in the literature stating that HIIT programs improve physical and physiological performance parameters in many branch athletes, there are limited studies specific to the hockey branch.
The HIIT programs used in the study are simple and easy in terms of application.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Maximum Oxygen Consumption (VO₂max) (time frame: Baseline and Week 8). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Feb 2026.
