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

Clear terminology to guidance practitioners through repeat sprint training programming

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

Physiological demands of repeat sprint training and change in energy demands from 1st to last rep


The effect of repeat sprint session volume on athlete's perceived session exertion (RPE).

The effect of inter-repetition rest time on sprint decrement %

So many practical takeaways in this paper for coaches.
