TI  - High intensity training for faster water polo.
PG  - 229-36
AB  - AIM: The aim of this study, based on the interaction between two aerobic and 
      anaerobic metabolisms with a parallel production of both aerobic and anaerobic 
      ATP, was to develop a high intensity training programme and increase the aerobic 
      contribution. We examined the applicability of a 16-week training programme with 
      an ergospirometer treadmill and field tests on eight water polo players. METHODS: 
      Tests/retests of repeated exercises to 90V (90% of maximum personal speed over 
      100 m freestyle) and Speed Endurance Training (SET) after eight weeks were 
      developed. A one-way blocked ANOVA with random blocks was used and each player 
      represented a particular block with two before-after treatments with the aim of 
      reducing error by subtracting both the variance due to the difference between the 
      treatments and that due to the difference between the blocks. RESULTS: A 
      reduction (15.2%) in blood lactate was observed in response to the same absolute 
      workload (before-after). Furthermore the anaerobic contribution to VO2max 
      (ESCAna, Estimated Anaerobic Contribution) after eight weeks of training at 
      90maxV and the anaerobic contribution to VO2max (ESCAna) after speed endurance 
      training (SET) were very significant (P<0.004) with a reduction in the anaerobic 
      contribution of 16%. The results of the field tests show that there was a very 
      significant reduction (P<0.001) in lactate between 90maxV and maximal aerobic 
      power velocity (MAPv) of 24%. CONCLUSION: With 90maxV and SET, space was gained 
      towards those velocities, which had previously required a considerable anaerobic 
      contribution. In this way match speed was increased.
