Article Abstract
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. Performance was assessed from the individual power-force-velocity profiles (PVFP) over a 20-m sprint and from a countermovement jump at baseline (PRE) and after two weeks of training (POST).
Results: Sprint time decreased by 2% over the first 5 and 10 meters (P<0.01) while no significant changes in the time at 20 meters (-0.8%, P=0.09) nor in maximal velocity (-1%, P=0.31) were detected. The average PFVP showed an increase in theoretical maximal force and power output of 5 and 4%, respectively (P<0.05), with no change in theoretical maximal speed (P=0.26). Jump height and power also increased after training (5 and 3% respectively, P<0.01). Players improved their maximal sprint distance covered during the 30-second bouts and became more fatigue-resistant to long sprint events.
Conclusions: Six sessions of R-SIT helped to enhance short sprint times, acceleration and power output.

Evidence of Left Ventricular Cardiac Remodeling After 6 Weeks of Sprint Interval Training.
Scand J Med Sci Sports

Sprint interval training (SIT) leads to similar improvements in maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O) and maximal cardiac output as previously reported for traditional endurance training, but the exercise-induced effects on cardiac remodeling are still largely unknown. The aim of the current study was therefore to explore the effects of SIT on cardiac structure and function assessed by echocardiography in relation to, and controlling for, changes in both blood volume (BV) and heart rate (HR). Healthy men and women (n = 28) performed 6 weeks of SIT.

However, there is limited understanding of how an individual's initial physical fitness level might influence the extent of adaptations achieved through these programs. This study aimed to compare the impacts of SSG and HIIT on male soccer players, while also considering the players' athleticism, categorized into lower and higher total athleticism score (TSA).

Background: Although a palaeolithic diet promotes healthier food choices that aid in weight management and reduce cardiovascular risks, its effectiveness in endurance sports is still debated due to its typically low carbohydrate content.
Objective: This study examined the impact of a 6-week palaeolithic diet (PD-G) versus a mixed diet (MD-G), both paired with Sprint interval training (SIT), on various metabolic and performance-related parameters.
Methods: Body composition, time trial (TT) performance (covered distance during a 60-minute run on a 400-metre track) and changes in metabolic (respiratory exchange ratio [RER], substrate oxidation rates) and performance-related (time at ventilatory threshold [VT] and respiratory compensation point [RCP], maximum oxygen uptake (V̇O) and time to exhaustion [TTE]) parameters during a ramp incremental running test were assessed in 14 male endurance athletes.
Assessing maximal sprinting speed in soccer - criterion validity of commonly used devices.

This study aimed to investigate the criterion validity of commonly used devices to assess maximal sprinting speed (MSS) in soccer. Thirty elite youth soccer players completed three trials of a 30-m sprint test to assess MSS. All sprints were simultaneously captured via a radar gun (Stalker ATS II), timing gates (Smartspeed Pro, Fusion Sport), a magnetic timing system (Humotion SmarTracks) and a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) (Kinexon Perform GPS Pro).

In high-intensity and sprint interval training, the frequency of contractions is typically higher compared to moderate-intensity continuous training, but it remains unclear whether this contributes to the effective increase in fatigue resistance mechanisms. Here, we investigated the role of contraction frequency in high-intensity training on endurance adaptations of mouse skeletal muscle. Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into groups based on high (0.
