Influence of averaging method on muscle deoxygenation interpretation during repeated-sprint exercise

Influence of repeated sprint training on pulmonary O2 uptake and muscle deoxygenation kinetics in humans.

We hypothesized that a short-term training program involving repeated all-out sprint training (RST) would be more effective than work-matched, low-intensity endurance training (ET) in enhancing the kinetics of oxygen uptake (Vo(2)) and muscle deoxygenation {deoxyhemoglobin concentration ([HHb])} following the onset of exercise. Twenty-four recreationally active subjects (15 men, mean +/- SD: ag...

Influence of knowledge of sprint number on pacing during repeated-sprint exercise.

PURPOSE The anticipation of exercise-induced stress influences performance during continuous exercise. However, not all exercise is continuous. This study explores the influence of prior knowledge of sprint number on mechanical work, surface EMG, and RPE during repeated-sprint exercise (RSE). METHODS Fourteen athletes performed three RSE in random order. In one trial, subjects were informed t...

Title : Oxygen uptake during repeated - sprint exercise

Pronounced muscle deoxygenation during supramaximal exercise under simulated hypoxia in sprint athletes.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether acute hypoxia alters the deoxygenation level in vastus lateralis muscle during a 30 s Wingate test, and to compare the muscle deoxygenation level between sprint athletes and untrained men. Nine male track sprinters (athletic group, VO2max 62.5 ± 4.1 ml/kg/min) and 9 healthy untrained men (untrained group, VO2max 49.9 ± 5.2 ml·kg(-1)·min(-1)) pe...

Neuromuscular fatigability during repeated-sprint exercise in male athletes.

PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the pattern of neuromuscular fatigability that manifests during repeated-sprint running exercise. METHODS Twelve male participants (mean ± SD: age, 25 ± 6 yr; stature, 180 ± 7 cm; body mass, 77 ± 7 kg), currently training and competing in intermittent sprint sports, performed a repeated maximal sprint running protocol (12 × 30 m, 30-s rest periods).
