Abstract

Study Objectives: In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of 8-week intensive interval exercises on some performance parameters, applied to male and female national crossers in the high-altitude camp center during the preparatory period.  Methods: Totally, 12 male and 13 female athletes between the ages of 18-24 who continue to compete in the national cross-country teams of Turkey participated in the study. Anaerobic power, speed, and balance performance values of the athletes participating in the study were measured. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in the mean scores of the male participants in the Wingate anaerobic strength test, 30m sprint test, static right, static left, static double leg balance, dynamic right, left, and double leg balance pre-test/post-test scores. While statistically significant differences were found in the mean scores of the female participants in the Wingate anaerobic strength test, 30m speed, static right and double leg balance, dynamic right, left and double leg balance pre-test/post-test scores, no significant results were obtained in the static left leg test. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that intensive exercises applied in the high-altitude camp center improved anaerobic power values, static and dynamic balance values, and speed performance values in both male and female athletes.
