Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the effects of high intensity training on body composition in recreationally active women. The sample included 27 recreationally active women, experimental group (n = 13; age: 34.6 ± 1.7) and control group (n = 14; age: 34.2 ±
1.9). Nine parameters were measured: body weight, body height, body mass index, adipose tissue in%, adipose tissue in kg, muscle tissue in%, muscle tissue in kg, lean body mass in%, lean body mass in kg. Statistically significant effects on the final measurement were determined in the following tests: body weight in kg, body mass index, adipose tissue in%, adipose tissue in kg, muscle tissue in%, lean body mass in% and lean body mass in kg, at the level of statistical significance p<0.05. The results confirmed that intensive training of high intensity ≥80%-90% HRmax, was effective and lead to statistically significant changes in body composition.
