Repeated-sprint ability is an important attribute for basketball players given the frequent high-intensity movements performed across game-play. 1 , 2 Repeated-sprints are short (≤10 s) and executed at maximal effort with brief recovery (≤60 s) between bouts. 3 During repeated-sprints, adenosine

al., 2015 ; Torstveit & Sundgot-Borgen, 2005 ). Research on speed and/or power athletes, and athletes of non-White descent, however, is limited. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of signs and symptoms of LEA in a population of elite and national-level sprinters of both White and Black
Error-Correction Processing in Timing Lights for Measuring Sprint Performance: Does It Work?
Stefan Altmann, Steffen Ringhof, Benedikt Becker, Alexander Woll, and Rainer Neumann
Sprint testing plays a key role in the physical assessment of team sport athletes. Most commonly, timing lights are the method of choice for measuring sprint capacities. 1 However, in terms of single-beam timing lights, the system can be triggered prematurely by an athlete’s upper or lower limbs
The Effect of 30-Second Sprints During Prolonged Exercise on Gross Efficiency, Electromyography, and Pedaling Technique in Elite Cyclists
Nicki Winfield Almquist, Gertjan Ettema, James Hopker, Øyvind Sandbakk, and Bent R. Rønnestad
-intensity efforts are of additional importance. 3 Long-duration sessions with repeated high-intensity efforts are, therefore, important components of cyclists’ competitions and training sessions. However, it is currently unknown whether inclusion of sprints during long-duration sessions affects the quality of
Effects of Weighted Vest Loading During Daily Living Activities on Countermovement Jump and Sprint Performance
Jeffrey D. Simpson, Ludmila Cosio-Lima, Eric M. Scudamore, Eric K. O’Neal, Ethan M. Stewart, Brandon L. Miller, Harish Chander, and Adam C. Knight
Wearing a weighted vest (WV) during daily living activities and training (WVDT), 1 – 3 or during daily living only, 4 – 6 is one form of external loading used to enhance countermovement jump (CMJ) and sprinting performance. The theoretical benefits of WVDT were supported in a seminal
The Effect of Maturation on Performance During Repeated Sprints With Self-Selected Versus Standardized Recovery Intervals in Youth Footballers
Callum G. Brownstein, Derek Ball, Dominic Micklewright, and Neil V. Gibson
Repeated sprints are an effective and time-efficient method of training team-sport athletes ( 29 ). Studies investigating the use of repeated sprints on performance, recovery, and metabolic response have attempted to optimize the training stimulus by varying work-to-rest ratios ( 20 ), numbers of
The Isometric Midthigh Pull in Basketball: An Effective Predictor of Sprint and Jump Performance in Male, Adolescent Players
Aaron T. Scanlan, Neal Wen, Joshua H. Guy, Nathan Elsworthy, Michele Lastella, David B. Pyne, Daniele Conte, and Vincent J. Dalbo
Power-related attributes are important for adolescent basketball players to perform key game movements such as jumps and sprints. 1 Various tests have been utilized to assess power-related attributes using dynamic tasks such as free weight lifts, vertical jumps, and linear and multidirectional

efforts (e.g., sprinting, jumping) separated by brief, incomplete recovery periods over the duration of a match ( Bishop & Girard, 2013 ; Stone & Kilding, 2009 ). High-intensity exercise and repeated-sprint training can improve aerobic and anaerobic fitness, and enhance team-sport performance ( Bishop et
Normative Reference Centiles for Sprint Performance in High-Level Youth Soccer Players: The Need to Consider Biological Maturity
Ludwig Ruf, Stefan Altmann, Christian Kloss, and Sascha Härtel
The assessment of physical performance is an important element in the talent identification and development processes in highly trained youth soccer players ( 34 ). One key component considered to be of high relevance to overall performance in soccer is linear sprint performance ( 13 , 29 ). Thus
