Effect of high-intensity sports specific training and high-intensity interval training on sprained ankle male adolescent soccer athletes before return-to-play

Ankle sprain is a highly observed injury in soccer due to repeated strenuous movements. Rehabilitation after leads decreased physical strength and muscle-joint function. The ankle sprained patients need improved specific fitness function simultaneously. Therefore, current study aimed compare high-intensity sports training (HISST) with interval (HIIT) identify effective for lower-extremity functions. A total of 56 high school male players (HIIT: 28, HISST: 28) who survived the acute phase participated study. In intervention period 4 weeks, HISST HIIT groups were randomly assigned. Physical tests performed before intervention. measurements included Volume Oxygen peak (VO2peak), anaerobic power, isokinetic eversion strength, while lower extremity consisted Y-balance hop tests. both groups, VO2peak, exercise time, intervention, significant improvement all subtests (p < 0.05). Regarding posteromedial posterolateral directions test, crossover tests, was significantly higher 0.05) than post-intervention test. Concludingly, can simultaneously improve abductor athletes returning competition. Additionally, slightly more mediolateral balance hopping.
