In the “live low–train high” altitude training paradigm, 1 repeated-sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) is increasingly used in elite sport settings. 2 This method is primarily dedicated to intermittent sports such as rugby sevens, 3 where the capacity to reiterate maximal sprint accelerations is

One of the most commenly used resisted sprint methods is weighted sled training (consisting of a sled device attached to the athlete by a chest or waist harness). This methodology requires greater demand for horizontal forces evoked by the mass of a weighted sled together with the resulting
Effects of Hypoxia Severity on Muscle Oxygenation Kinetics Using Statistical Parametric Mapping During Repeated Treadmill Sprints
Clint Hansen, Franck Brocherie, Grégoire P. Millet, and Olivier Girard
Repeated-sprint ability (RSA) entails executing brief (<30 s) maximal efforts with incomplete (<60 s) recovery intervals. 1 Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) research has pinpointed the significance of oxidative metabolism and muscle oxygenation capacity as crucial determinants of RSA. 2 , 3

Studies have shown that distance running performance is strongly affected by maximal oxygen uptake ( V ˙ O 2 max ) and running economy. 1 , 2 Furthermore, we have reported that the 5000-m seasonal best time was significantly correlated with the 100-m and 400-m sprinting times in highly trained

, revised classification rules saw sprinters with double- and single-leg amputation allocated into different sport classes (“T61–64”), in part due to observations that these two groups of athletes (i.e., those with unilateral lower limb amputation—T61, T62—vs. those with bilateral lower limb amputations—T63
High-Load Squat Training Improves Sprinting Performance in Junior Elite-Level Soccer Players: A Critically Appraised Topic
Lars H. Lohmann, Konstantin Warneke, Stephan Schiemann, and Irene R. Faber
Soccer is an intermittent sport in which high- and low-intensity actions alternate 1 while the most crucial events during matches in modern soccer are high-intensity actions. 2 These actions are primarily high-intensity running (HIR) bouts also referred to as sprinting. 2 , 3 Though the majority

of sexes, age categories, and competitive status. For example, male college athletes who exhibited an RS level ∼45% higher than their female peers also achieved superior performances in both vertical jump and sprint tests (∼45% and ∼20% higher, respectively, compared with female college athletes). 6

seasonal best time of elite junior long-distance runners was correlated with the cross-sectional area of the psoas major, which is directly related to sprinting ability. 9 Moreover, Tucker et al 10 showed a variation in running velocity during a world-record performance and reported that the final

Within the past decades, the percentage and duration of sprints increased by 35% in adult soccer matches. 1 Sprinting accounts for 1% to 4% of the total distance covered 1 and is the most frequent action preceding goal situations. 2 This may have affected youth soccer training since sprint
