Purpose: This study examined the impact of a 5-wk sprint interval training (SIT) intervention on time to task failure (TTF) during severe-intensity constant work rate (CWR) exercise, as well as in glycolytic enzymatic content and activity, and glycogen content.
Methods: Fourteen active males were randomized into either a SIT group ( n = 8) composed of 15 SIT sessions over 5 wk, or a control group ( n = 6). At pretraining period, participants performed i) ramp incremental test to measure the cardiorespiratory function; ii) CWR cycling TTF at 150% of the power output (PO) at the respiratory compensation point (RCP-PO) with muscle biopsies at rest and immediately following task failure.

Background: This study investigated the possible influence of the gender on the responses of swimmers during a taper period (TP).
Methods: Ten males (19±3 years and 73.5±7.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare physiological responses (heart rate and blood lactate levels) of futsal players during the first half (1-H) and second half (2-H) while considering their on-court time during substitutions.
- Results showed no significant differences in heart rate and blood lactate levels between the two halves, though there were variations in time spent in specific heart rate intensity zones.
- The findings suggest that with proper substitutions and time management, players can maintain similar match intensity levels in both halves, providing valuable insights for coaches and future research.
Purpose: The present study investigated the recovery of performance and neuromuscular fatigue after cycling repeated sprints.
Methods: Ten participants performed two sessions of repeated sprints (one session: 10 × 10-s sprints, 30-s recovery) separated by 24 h (R24-S1 and R24-S2) and two sessions separated by 48 h (R48-S1 and R48-S2). The recovery condition (i.
Purpose: The current study characterized the performance fatigability etiology, immediately after exercise cessation, and its relation to the dynamic changes in muscle O2 saturation (SmO2) at different TT phases.
Methods: Twelve males performed three separated TT of different distances, in a crossover counterbalanced design, until the end of the fast-start (FS, 827 ± 135 m), even-pace (EP, 3590 ± 66 m), or end-spurt (ES, 4000 m) TT phases. Performance fatigability was characterized by using isometric maximal voluntary contractions (IMVC), whereas the maximal voluntary activation (VA) and contractile function of knee extensors (e.
