Analysis of road sprint cycling performance
Sprint cycling ability is a key determinant of road cycling performance, with many races designed specifically for sprinters. The ability to excel in the final sprint is relevant for both individual riders and teams. Despite the importance of sprints within professional road cycling, the …

Mathematical model of the sprint relay race.
… develop and validate mathematical models of the sprint relay race. Two approaches, a classical exponential approach and a "new" polynomial approach, were chosen for implementation. Archival film of a 100 m sprint was used to gather displacement data for the first 60 m of the race. Filming had …

Assessment of joint kinetics in elite sprint cyclists
Sprint cycling requires the production of explosive muscle power outputs up to very high pedalling rates. The ability to assess muscular function through the course of the sprint would aid training practices for high-level performers. Inverse dynamics provides a non-invasive means of estimating the …

The inflammatory response to acute maximal sprint exercise
… study was to determine whether acute maximal sprint exercise would elicit an inflammatory response in trained and untrained runners marked by increased systemic immune proteins and byproducts of oxidation, as well as to determine a time course for the presence of these markers. In procedures …

Relationships between sprint performance, power output and fatigue
… relationships between the cycle ergometer and sprint performance. Twenty-five college-aged males were used for this investigation. Following a three minute warm-up, each subject performed a 15 sec. maximal bout on the cycle ergometer. The resistance load on the ergometer was set at 0.12kg/kg of …

The effect of a 4-week sprint training program on sprint ability of female soccer players: a single-subject research design
… modern soccer has led to an increased number of sprints a player performs, and the total sprint distance he covers during a game. Therefore, a greater emphasis should be placed on improving sprint ability than before. Objectives: 1. To develop a sprint training program for soccer players, A) …

Factors affecting the ability to undertake repeated sprint performance
… 1) to review research in the area of repeated sprint (RS) performance and diurnal/circadian rhythmicity; 2) to develop a new RS protocol that conforms to field based team sport time-motion analysis and determine its reliability and compare this with a RS protocol previously utilised in the …

Determination of Critical Rest Interval using Repeated Sprint Ability Testing
… of critical rest interval (CRI). Repeated sprint ability (RSA) testing has been developed to define the athlete’s ability to recover and maintain maximal effort during successive bouts. The CP model has been used to understand the physiological responses involved with intermittent exercise …

Acid-base regulation during sprint exercise in horses fed lecithin
… venous blood were examined during repeated sprint exercise in horses. Differences between temperature measurement sites for the adjustment of pH and blood gases during exercise was also investigated. The independent variables, strong ion difference (SID), total weak electrolytes …

Sprint acceleration performance in team sports : biomechanical characteristics and training methods
Sprinting is a fundamental activity in many team sports such as soccer, rugby, football, field hockey, and basketball. Specifically, the ability to rapidly increase sprint running velocity over short distances, which is often referrcd to as sprint acceleration ability, is of major importance to …

An Examination of the Motives to Participate in Sprint Distance Triathlon
… The study looked specifically at participants in sprint triathlon, the shortest of the three main triathlon competitions. The study utilized a slightly modified Motives of Marathoners Scale (MOMS), an instrument developed by Masters, Ogles, and Jolton (1992), to better understand the reasons for …

Comparison of Post-Activation Potentiation Methods on Power and Sprint Acceleration
… the effect of different PAP methods on power and sprint acceleration in resistance trained, college-aged men and women. A total of 13 subjects participated in the study. After determining back squat 1 repetition max, subjects returned for testing on separate days to complete one of four …

Home Field Advantage: Sprint Sensitivity to Ecologically Relevant Substrates in Lizards
… in an attempt to link ecology and morphology. Sprint sensitivity is the decrease in sprint speed due to change in substrate. This study measures sprint sensitivity to substrate rugosity among six lizard species that occupy rocky, sandy, and/or semi-arboreal habitats. Lizards that use rocky …

Determining a Relationship Between Posterior Chain Flexibility and Linear Sprint Speed
… between a low flexibility score and the sprint speed of an athlete for the entire group population. The results also show that there is no significant relationship between flexibility of the posterior chain and linear speed as measured in the 40-yard dash when looking at football players …

The effect of sprint training on human skeletal muscle purine nucleotide metabolism
… of this thesis was to examine the effect of sprint training on skeletal muscle purine nucleotide (PnN) metabolism. Specifically, this thesis studied the effects of sprint training on skeletal muscle PnN and metabolites of purine catabolism at rest, during a 30 s "all out" cycle bout and after …
