Both groups performed an uphill running time trial and were assessed for laboratory performance and physiological profiling in treadmill running and roller-ski skating preintervention and postintervention.\n \n Results<\/jats:bold>\n :\n <\/jats:italic>\n Preintervention to postintervention changes in running time trial did not differ between groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.44), with significant improvements in HIG (\u22122.3% [3.2%],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.01) but not in LIG (\u22121.5% [2.9%],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.20). There were no differences between groups in peak speed changes when incremental running and roller-ski skating to exhaustion (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.30 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.20, respectively), with both modes being significantly improved in HIG (2.2% [3.1%] and 2.5% [3.4%], both\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.01) and in roller-ski skating for LIG (1.5% [2.4%],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.01). There was a between-group difference in running maximal oxygen uptake changes (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.04), tending to improve in HIG (3.0% [6.4%],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.09) but not in LIG (\u22120.7% [4.6%],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.25). Changes in roller-ski skating peak oxygen uptake differed between groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.02), with significant improvements in HIG (3.6% [5.4%],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.01) but not in LIG (\u22120.1% [0.17%],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.62).\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\n :\n <\/jats:italic>\n There was no significant difference in performance adaptations between increased load of low- versus high-intensity training in well-trained endurance athletes, although both methods improved performance. However, increased load of high-intensity training elicited better maximal oxygen uptake adaptations compared to increased load of low-intensity training.\n
