HIIT Training on Military Pentathlon Physical Performance

By Juan Pablo Villarroel Calero

The military pentathlon is a sport that combines 5 events (rifle shooting, obstacle course, swimming with obstacles, grenade throwing, and cross country running) and it is here where low performance of the ESMIL cadets was detected, the objective of the study was to apply an intervention with high intensity HIIT interspersed circuit training. For this, a quantitative research of quasi-experimental approach was applied, with a non-probabilistic sampling by convenience to a group of 7 cadets aged 21.14 0.9 years for 12 weeks, with a training structure of (6 exercise x 20 sec of work x 4 series and a micro recovery of 20 sec and macro of 60 sec). For the collection of the results, a strength evaluation was applied before and after the intervention; once the data were collected, they were analyzed with the statistical program SPSS version 25. With this it was possible to verify that the data complied with normality, the parametric Student's T test for related samples was applied, where it was determined that the 5 strength tests had a significance > 0.05, thus proving the improvement of the cadets' performance.
