Zulakbal Abd Karim

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the effect of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on physical ability among special education students. A total of 30 participants from a special education school were divided into two groups, treatment group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The treatment group underwent usual normal sports training with additional of HIIT for eight weeks while control group underwent usual normal sports training for the same period of time. The tests that were conducted are 1 minute half sit up, 30m sprint, agility t-test and standing long jump. Independent t-test results showed that treatment group produces significantly greater percentages improvement in performance compared to the control group in all the tests performed. As the conclusion, the inclusion of HIIT in training program increases the physical ability among special educations students
