Objective:To Explore the effect of short-term sprint interval training(SIT)on maximal oxygen(VO2max) uptake in normal healthy people. Method:By searching for databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, etc, we found the effect of SIT on VO2max in normal healthy people in randomized controlled trial (RCT). After including and excluding criteria, we have screened literature, extracted data, and evaluated the methodological quality of the chosen literature. After that, meta-analysis of outcome indicators of the chosen literature has been done via Review Manager 5.3. The results of meta-analysis showed that SIT improved the VO2max better than the CON group,and the sub-group analysis showed that compared with the no intervention group,SIT had a significant effect on the improvement of VO2max after 2~10 weeks intervention . Compared with ET, there was no statistical difference (P>0.05) in VO2max improved by SIT between 2~4 weeks intervention and 6~8 weeks intervention; and the effect of 10 weeks SIT intervention was better than ET group. Conclusion:SIT can increase VO2max in normal healthy people. Compared with ET,SIT can be used as an alternative training because the SIT intervention effects are the same between 2~4 weeks and 6~8 weeks; and 10 weeks intervention effect of SIT is better than ET. However, due to the lack of relevant research and low evaluation of methodological quality, the effect of 10-week intervention still needs further research and verification. |
