HIIT Manual High Intensity Interval Training and Agile Periodization

Conditioning is one of the most challenging aspects of athletic preparation. Every strength and conditioning coach wants athletes to maintain high performance from the opening whistle to the final play, but designing effective conditioning programs requires much more than simply making athletes work harder.

The HIIT Manual by Mladen Jovanović provides a practical, research-based framework for building high-intensity interval training programs that improve conditioning while supporting athletic performance. Combining sports science with real-world coaching applications, this comprehensive manual helps coaches understand not only how to prescribe HIIT, but why each method works.

The first section introduces the foundations of HIIT programming. Readers learn the terminology of endurance training, the concept of the Endurance Map, and how Velocity Profiles can be used to individualize conditioning programs. The manual also explains the equipment needed for testing, methods for estimating key HIIT variables, and strategies for prescribing conditioning based on athlete profiles.

Coaches will also learn how to adjust HIIT prescriptions using start loss and change-of-direction (COD) loss while organizing athletes into appropriate training groups. Multiple HIIT formats are covered, including long intervals, short intervals, tempo intervals, sprint interval training, repeated sprint training, and intermittent recovery methods.

The second section focuses on planning through Agile Periodization, a modern approach that recognizes the uncertainty of athletic preparation. Rather than relying on rigid programming models, Agile Periodization provides coaches with practical decision-making tools to answer what should be trained, when it should be trained, and how conditioning can be adjusted throughout a training cycle.

Whether working with individual athletes or team sports, the HIIT Manual provides coaches with practical systems for designing, implementing, and managing conditioning programs that support high-level performance.

Built around the elitefts values of Focus, Trust, and Strength, the HIIT Manual helps coaches continue to Live, Learn, Pass On through evidence-based conditioning education.
