Recent studies show significant positive effects, but the consequences of prolonged use remain unknown. Purpose: This study aims to investigate and evaluate the effects of prolonged application of the SHCT model in elite team handball players. Method: For this purpose, a field-based quasi-experiment was organized using the SHCT training model on 14 professional female team handball players competing in the first national league who participated in 16 weeks of SHCT training during the competition season. Results: After the application of SHCT training, the increases in the parameters of the aerobic profile (distance run in Cooper\u2019s 12 min run test, maximum rate of oxygen consumption, value of the maximum relative oxygen consumption, running speed for which maximum rate of oxygen consumption occurs) reached from 25.4% to 35.2%. The effect size of these changes was \u03b72p &gt; 0.90 and was significant at the p &lt; 0.001 level. Conclusions: The investigated aerobic model is effective. Therefore, its use is recommended for designing aerobic training for elite teams and the general sports population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfmk10030241","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,25]],"date-time":"2025-06-25T08:23:22Z","timestamp":1750839802000},"page":"241","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effectiveness of Prolonged Application of Super High-Intensity Continuous Training\u2014Team Case Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2592-451X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milo\u0161 M.","family":"Milo\u0161evi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Management, Singidunum University, Danijelova 32, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jovana","family":"Popovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Community Health Centre Rakovica, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7153-2993","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milivoj","family":"Dopsaj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University in Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Milenko B.","family":"Milosevi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Serbia Center for Diagnostics and Training Design CEDIP, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.1123\/wspaj.20.1.23","article-title":"Physical and Physiological Attributes of Female Team Handball Players\u2014A Review","volume":"20","author":"Lidor","year":"2011","journal-title":"Women Sport Phys.
