Optimising The Effect of Circuit Training on Lactic Acid Accumulation and Performance in Team Sports
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: Lactic acid accumulation is a critical factor influencing fatigue and performance in team sports. Circuit training has been widely used to enhance endurance, strength, and recovery. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of circuit training in optimizing lactic acid levels and improving athletic performance. Methods: A controlled experimental design was implemented, involving athletes from different team sports. Participants were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent a structured circuit training program, while the control group followed their regular training routine. Lactic acid levels were measured pre- and post-exercise using standard biochemical analysis. Statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA and post hoc tests to determine significant differences. Results: The findings revealed a significant reduction in lactic acid accumulation post-training in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The statistical analysis confirmed that circuit training plays a vital role in managing lactic acid buildup and enhancing overall sports performance. Discussion: The study supports the role of circuit training in improving lactic acid clearance and boosting athletic endurance. These results align with previous research suggesting that structured training regimens contribute to better physiological adaptations. The findings have practical implications for coaches and athletes seeking to optimize performance through tailored training programs. Conclusion: Circuit training proves to be an effective intervention for reducing lactic acid accumulation and enhancing performance in team sports. Future research should explore sport-specific modifications and long-term adaptations to maximize training benefits.
