This study aimed to compare the effects of resistance interval training on aerobic and anaerobic
fitness in female soccer players. The twenty female soccer players aged 18–22 years old were equally
randomized into two groups: the control group and experimental group. The participants in the control group
completed 4 x 30 sec (20–30 reps) weight training at 50 - 60 % 1 RM with 30 seconds recovery between bouts
(experimental group, N=10). The participants in the experimental group completed 8 x 20 sec (15–20 reps)
weight training at 20 - 30 % 1 RM with 10 seconds recovery between bouts (control group, N=10) All
participants performed the protocol three per week over 8 weeks. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was
measured using Multistage physical fitness test. Anaerobic power and anaerobic capacity were tested by a
Running-based Anaerobic Sprint (RAST)Test The data were statistically analyzed using the Paired Samples
T-test and the Independent T-test at a statistical significance level of 0.05.
The results showed that after 8 weeks of training average VO2max significantly increased from 30.34 ±
4.0 to 35.61 ± 3.7 ml/kg/min (control) and 30.38 ± 3.7 to 37.68 ± 2.8 ml/kg/min (experimental) (p<0.05). In
addition, anaerobic capacity increased by 314.50 ± 59 to 365 ± 92 Watt (control group) and 303.40 ± 47 to 389
± 48 Watt (experimental) and anaerobic power increased by 410.40 ± 79 to 481 ± 109 Watt (control) and 384.60
± 61 to 477.20 ± 55 Watt (experimental) within group significant difference (p<0.05)
Conclusion. The Resistance Interval Training could be developed of aerobic and aerobic fitness for
female soccer players.
