Effect of Short Sprint Interval Training With Active Recovery as Compared to Passive Recovery on Anaerobic Capacity in Non-athletic Population

Short Sprint Interval Training (SSIT) is a modified form of Sprint Interval Training (SIT) defined as "small bouts of supramaximal exercise with recovery periods between them to increase peak oxygen uptake in spite of having a less amount of exercise volume". SSIT was developed so that non- athletic population could also perform a training which was originally designed for athletes to increase anaerobic capacity. The benefit of this type of exercise is that it is time efficient and yields the result in short amount of time as compared to other type of exercises due to its vigorous nature. Moreover this sort of training is mostly performed in lab setting rather than on field, therefore the aim of this study is to determine the effect of short sprint interval training in a field with active recovery as compared to passive recovery on anaerobic capacity in non-athletic population.
