Abstract: OBJECTIVES: This study examined the neural adaptations associated with a low-volume Wingate-based High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). METHODS: Fourteen recreationally trained males were divided into an experimental (HIIT) and a control group to determine whether a short-term (4 weeks) Wingate-based HIIT program could alter the Hoffmann (H-) reflex, volitional (V-) wave and maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the plantar-flexor muscles, and the peak power achieved during a Wingate test. RESULTS: ratio (P>0.05 for both groups). CONCLUSION: The Wingate-based training led to an increased peak power together with a higher spinal excitability. However, no changes were found either in the volitional wave or in the MVC, indicating a lack of adaptation in the central motor drive.
