Both groups will continue their regular table tennis training and additionally perform their assigned HIIT protocol three times per week for a total duration of eight weeks.\n\nThe calisthenic/plyometric HIIT program consists of bodyweight and plyometric exercises performed in a Tabata format, while the kettlebell HIIT program consists of resistance-based exercises using kettlebells performed in the same interval structure. Each training session lasts approximately 20-30 minutes.\n\nOutcome measures will be assessed before and after the intervention period and will include agility, flexibility, vertical jump performance, sprint performance, peak and average power output, and maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max).'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'MALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '24 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Male table tennis athletes aged 18-24 years.\n* Minimum of 2 years of regular competitive table tennis experience.\n* Currently performing structured training at least 3 days per week.\n* Medically cleared for high-intensity exercise.\n* Voluntary participation and signed informed consent.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Any chronic illness or cardiovascular/metabolic disorders.\n* Musculoskeletal injury within the last 6 months that limits physical activity.\n* Participation in other high-intensity training programs outside the study protocol during the intervention.\n* Inability to complete at least 90% of the scheduled intervention sessions.\n* Signs of acute injury, excessive fatigue, or cardiovascular abnormalities during screening.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT07403461', 'acronym': 'HIIT-TTP', 'briefTitle': 'HIIT Effects on Table Tennis Players', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Karabuk University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Comparative Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training Modalities on Physical Performance and Physiological Responses in Competitive Table Tennis Players', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '/ E-77192459-050.99-376986'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Calisthenic/Plyometric HIIT Group', 'description': 'Participants in this group perform a Tabata-based high-intensity interval training program focused on calisthenic and plyometric exercises, in addition to their regular table tennis training.
