Really good overview of repeat sprint training from @FraserThurlow and others.
Great detail on:
✔️Nomenclature & terminology ✔️Energy system vs task specific conditioning ✔️Physiological demands ✔️1st rep vs last rep demands / characteristics ✔️Training volume guidance
2
Clear terminology to guidance practitioners through repeat sprint training programming
3
Energy system vs Task specific conditioning development
Always hard to balance for practitioners
A clear framework for integrating both (in intermittent, team sport athlete) presented.
Analogy ("building the racecar") ala @woozleyoung epic "transfer of training" 2006 article
4
Physiological demands of repeat sprint training and change in energy demands from 1st to last rep
5
The effect of repeat sprint session volume on athlete's perceived session exertion (RPE).
6
The effect of inter-repetition rest time on sprint decrement %
7
So many practical takeaways in this paper for coaches.
👏 @FraserThurlow and team
