Purpose:
The study aimed to compare the physiological and perceptual responses of two high intensity intermittent aerobic exercises (HIIE), i.e. the 15s/15s exercise and an exercise on the Hoff track (HTE).

Abstract
Methods:
In this within-subject repeated measures study, seven high-level soccer players (Age: 24.1 4.5yr; Height: 175 0.04cm; Body mass: 67.9 9.0kg;% Body fat: 14.2 2.4%) performed the two exercises with same total duration (25 minutes) in a randomized order: 1) a 15s/15s protocol at 120% of maximal aerobic speed (MAS), and 2) HTE. Heart rate (HR) and oxygen uptake (VO2) were measured continuously throughout both exercises. The rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was measured 15 min after the end of each exercise. Blood lactate concentration ([La]) was measured at rest before each exercise, between and at the end of each set.
Results:
The mean VO2 during HTE was significantly higher than 15s/15s exercise (39.32.3 vs. 36.81.9 mL/min/kg,
Conclusion:
Our results demonstrate that VO2 and [La] were higher during HTE than during the 15s/15s when matched with duration. However, HTE was perceived less intense than 15s/15s. Thus, the use of HTE appears as an effective alternative for fitness coaches to develop aerobic endurance in soccer players.
