Brief Summary

This clinical trial aims to compare the difference between high-intensity interval training and common traditional training on physical fitness, skills, and tactical performance among college ice hockey players in China.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* 1. How does high-intensity interval training affect the physical fitness of college ice hockey players?

* 2. How does high-intensity interval training affect the skills of college ice hockey players?

* 3. How does high-intensity interval training affect the tactical performance of college ice hockey players? Participants will be asked to do 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training and common traditional training to see if there are differences between the two and the positive effects of high-intensity interval training.

Detailed Description

Through experimental design and quantitative research methods. This experiment will test the effectiveness of the training method by intervening in the selective fitness, skills, and tactical performance of college students using a high-intensity interval training method on the ice. The experiment will use 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training to improve the fitness, skills, and tactical performance of the intervention for ice hockey players. The experiment consists of two groups, with 20 students in the experimental group and 20 students in the control group, to compare the differences between the two groups. The experiment was divided into a discussion group and a general teaching group. The purpose of this experiment is to provide a theoretical basis for the improvement of ice hockey training methods so that college ice hockey players can obtain better competitive performance, especially in physical fitness and technique.

The experimental group (1-12 weeks) performed repeated sprint training, sprint interval training (on-ice 45-s shift length conditioning drill), a long-pass tracking drill, and a chase-the-rabbit tracking drill. There are three phases: 1-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks, and 9-12 weeks, gradually increasing the intensity of training. Similarly, the control group performed varied-pace skating (1 minute accelerated skating, 2 minutes even pace), dribbling and shooting drill (30 m), passing-catching drill (20 m), and 2 on 1 offensive drill (full rink). As in the experimental group, the same three phases were used to gradually increase the intensity.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
1. Varied Pace Skating 2.Driblling and Shooting Drill 3. Passing and Catching training 4. 2-on-1	Random Interventions	1. On the ice, a 1-minute accelerated skate and skating at an even pace for 2 minutes 2. On the ice, dribbling the ball and shooting at the goal 3. On the ice, they stood facing each other at a distance of 20 meters and practiced passing and catching. 4. On the ice, practice 2-on-1 offensive tactics and complete shots on goal.
1. Repeated Sprint 2. Interval Sprint 3.Long-Pass Tracking Drill 4. Chase-The-Rabbit Tracking Drill	Assigned Interventions	1. Make repeated sprints on the ice for a certain distance to measure its speed. 2. On the ice, perform 15 seconds of intermittent acceleration on the ice, with 30 seconds between each slide. 3. On the ice, make a long pass before taking a shot, then turn to track back. 4. On the ice, skate down the ice, 2 on 1, with a puck to pass and shoot.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The endurance performance of college ice hockey players	before the experiment	1. The endurance level of the athletes was assessed using the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 scale. The evaluation range is 5-23 points; the higher the score, the higher the endurance level.
Maximal oxygen uptake performance among collegiate ice hockey players	before the experiment	1. Maximum oxygen uptake measured during intensity training at 90-95% of maximum heart rate (per minute, per kilogram of body weight, the maximum amount of oxygen obtained (milliliters) will be combined to report VO2 max in ml/kg-min), #ml/kg-min#
The power performance of college ice hockey players	before the experiment	1. A countermovement jump and a squat jump evaluate the power. The higher the jump, the stronger the power, #cm#
The agility and skill performance of college ice hockey players	before the experiment	1. Using the Illinois Agility Test method of assessing athlete agility, the shorter the time, the higher the agility, #s#; 2. The time to skate to 20- and 30-meter, #s#; 3. The time to skate 20 meters with the ball, #s#
The passing and shooting performance of college ice hockey players	before the experiment	1. Number of passes at distance 20m each other in a minute, #pcs#; 2. Number of successful shots on goal in one minute, #pcs#
Tactical performance among college ice hockey	before the experiment	1. Evaluate the effect of attacking tactics by the number of shots and goals scored. The more shots and goals scored, the better the tactical effect.; 2. The offensive tactics were assessed based on the level of cooperation among players, their proficiency, and their success rate in passing and receiving. The coordination fluency was evaluated using a scale ranging from 1 to 10, where higher scores indicated greater fluency. The success rate was determined by calculating the percentage of successful passes out of the total passes made, multiplied by 100. Higher values reflected a higher success rate.

Secondary Outcome Measures
