Introduction: This research investigates the impact of Large Sided Games training using a High-Intensity Interval Training.
Objective: to determine the effectiveness of LSG training with the HIIT protocol in improving the anaerobic capacity of student futsal players.
Methodology: This research has used experimental design. The study sample consisted of 32 student futsal players with the following characteristics: height of 168.59 ± 5.85 cm, weight of 57.31 ± 4.14 kg, BMI of 20.19 ± 1.45, and average age of 16.50 ± 0.51 years. Cohen's effect size was utilized to assess group differences, and paired sample T-tests and independent T-tests with a significance level of <0.05 were employed in the data analysis.
Results: with regard to Peak Power (p = .012), Mean Power (p = .001), Peak Power per Weight (p = .012), Mean Power per Weight (p = .001), Fatigue Index (p = .002), and Total Effort Time (p = .000), on the other hand, the CG did not show any discernible changes for any of the variables.
Discussion: The increase occurs due to metabolic adaptation when performing combination exercises.
Conclusions: The study concludes that student futsal players' anaerobic endurance is efficiently increased by the LSG training model that incorporates the HIIT protocol.
