Effect of Capsaicin Supplementation on Performance of and Physiological Response to Repeated Sprinting
… HR by 9.3%, total average HR by 8.5%, and sprinting average HR by 6.0% (P<0.05). Capsaicin caused GD of at least 2/5 in 24.5% of subjects. There was no difference between treatments in fastest or mean sprint time, fatigue, percent change or difference in IL-6, BP, RPE, sprint or posttest …

The Relationship Between Relative Strength Levels to Sprinting Performance in Collegiate 100-400M Sprinters
… strength (i.e. back squat and power clean) to sprinting performance in 60-400m collegiate sprinters. A secondary purpose was to determine the distribution of athletes within the theoretical relationship between relative squat strength and performance capabilities. Fifty-six (n = 56) male and …

A Series of Studies Examining the Development of Sprint Speed and Momentum of International Rugby Union Players
Sprinting speed is a highly valued physical ability in rugby. There is little research examining sprinting biomechanics in rugby players and it is unclear the extent that sprinting speed and sprint momentum can even be improved in highly trained rugby players and how different speed and strength …

Biomechanics of foot function in relation to sports performance
… to evaluate how foot function may contribute to sprinting performance and the interaction between the mechanical properties of sprinting footwear and performance, with a focus on the role of the metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ). Currently, little is known about the effect of footwear upon the …

Determining the neuromuscular and energetic requirements of loaded and unloaded sprint efforts through experimental modeling new integrated approaches
Sprinting is a critical component of performance in soccer, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the neuromuscular and metabolic demands placed on athletes during high-intensity actions. Despite the widespread use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology in monitoring these demands, …

The Effects of Two Modes of High-Intensity Intermittent Exercise on Postprandial Metabolism
… was to see if exercise in the form of Tabata or Sprinting would lower postprandial lipemia and glycemia. Tabata was composed of body-weight exercises. Both Tabata and Sprinting consisted of 5 rounds with each round lasting 4 minutes and included movements performed for 20 seconds followed by …

Is Playerload related to fatigue following different types of repeated maximal sprint exercises in recreationally active young men?
… that two different types of repeated maximal sprinting exercises lead to a similar impairment of quadriceps and hamstring muscle function. Post exercise measures of fatigue do not differ between repeated 30 m straight line sprinting and repeated 3 x 10 m shuttle sprinting, except for …

The Interrelationships of Fitness Characteristics in Division 1 Athletes
… power, vertical jump height, shortdistance sprinting ability, muscularity, and body fat percentage. These variables have been shown in previous research to independently affect athletic performance outcomes, but their relationships to one another are less clear. Eighty Division I athletes …

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 …

A Biomechanical Analysis of Sprinters vs. Distance Runners at Equal and Maximal Speeds
<p>In the sport of track and field, sprinting and distance running represent two major categories of athletes. Sprinting is associated with power and speed, whereas distance running focuses on the economy of movement. With distance running there are elements of sprint technique that overlap. With …
