Article Synopsis
  • * Results showed significant improvements in V̇O 2max and dynamic force production by the second week, but improvements plateaued despite ongoing training, with no changes in isometric force or maximal power output.
  • * While SIT effectively boosted short-term fitness, the findings suggest that for continued progress, incorporating other training types like endurance or resistance workouts may be necessary.

Background: Recovery is a key factor to promote adaptations and enhance performance. Sprint Interval Training (SIT) is known to be an effective approach to improve overall physical function and health. Although a 2-day rest period is given between SIT sessions, the time-course of recovery after SIT is unknown.

Background: This study aimed to determine the effects of a running sprint interval training protocol (R-SIT) on the sprint acceleration mechanical properties and jump performance. Eleven young male basketball players performed 6 R-SIT sessions for 2 weeks.

Methods: Each session consisted of 30-second running bouts repeated 4 to 7 times interspersed by 4 minutes of recovery.

Purpose: While the physiological determinants of road running have been widely studied, there is a lack of research in trail-running racing performance. The aim of our study was to determine the physiological predictors of trail-running performance in races of different distances in similar terrain and weather conditions.

Methods: Seventy-five trail runners participating in one of the races of the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc were recruited.
