“…_VO 2 max and zDS were signiˆcantly correlated. This is in agreement with some previous studies (McMahon et al, 1998;Jones et al, 2013;da Silva et al, 2010), but not others (Angius et al, 2013;Ariz et al, 2007). It has been reported that there is a relationship between maximal peak power and z DS (Bishop and Spencer, 2004;Hamilton et al, 1991).…”

“…Maximal oxygen uptake ( _VO 2 max) is one of the best indices of an individual's ability to transport oxygen to working muscles (Bassett and Howley, 2000). Several studies have shown that RSA is in‰uenced by _VO 2 max (McMahon et al, 1998;Jones et al, 2013;da Silva et al, 2010) whereas some studies reported no signiˆcant relationship between _VO 2 max and RSA (Angius et al, 2013;Ariz et al, 2007).…”

This study investigated the relationship between aerobicˆtness and repeated sprint ability (RSA) before and after a half-time. Thirteen male volunteers (23±2 years, 175±5 cm, 67±6 kg; [mean±standard error]) participated in this study. All subjects underwent two laboratory tests on a cycle ergometer. An initial test was conducted to determine aerobicˆtness. On separate day, the RSA test was conducted. The RSA exercise comprised 15×6-s sprints with 54-s recovery periods. This was duplicated after a 15-min half-time. The blood lactate (Bla) removal rate was calculated using Bla values before and after the half-time. As a result of aero-bicˆtness, seven subjects were classiˆed asˆt (58 ml/kg/min) and six as unˆt (＜58 ml/kg/min). The maximal peak power was signiˆcantly reduced in the unˆt group (p＜0.05) but not in theˆt group (p＞0.05) at the second session. The change in maximal peak power between sessions was signiˆcantly correlated with _VO 2 max (r＝0.714, p＜0.01). A strong correlation was observed between Bla removal rate and _VO 2 max (r＝0.830, p＜0.01). These results indicate that aerobicallyˆt subjects recover more quickly after RSA exercise due to superior lactate removal ability.

“…Short sprints (~ 6 s) performed above ~120 % of the intensity associated with maximal oxygen uptake [10,11], and the capacity to perform repeat efforts after short periods of recovery ( < 20 s), are basic conditions for practising team-based sports such as soccer [19,26] and basketball [18,33]; these conditions have been denominated repeated-sprint ability (RSA) [2,3,15].…”

Energy Systems Contribution in the Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test

The aims of the present study were to verify the contributions of the energy systems during repeated sprints with a short recovery time and the associations of the time- and power-performance of repeated sprints with energetic contributions and aerobic and anaerobic variables. 13 healthy men performed the running-based anaerobic sprint test (RAST) followed by an incremental protocol for lactate minimum intensity determination. During the RAST, the net energy system was estimated using the oxygen consumption and the blood lactate responses. The relative contributions of oxidative phosphorylation, glycolytic, and phosphagen pathways were 38, 34, and 28%, respectively. The contribution of the oxidative pathway increased significantly during RAST especially from the third sprint, at the same time that power- and time-performances decreases significantly. The phosphagen pathway was associated with power-performance (peak power=432±107 W, r=0.65; mean power=325±80 W, r=0.65; minimum power=241±77 W, r=0.57; force impulse=1 846±478 N·s, r=0.74; <0.05). The time-performance (total time=37.9±2.5 s; best time=5.7±0.4 s; mean time=6.3±0.4 s; worst time=7.0±0.6 s) was significantly correlated with the oxidative phosphorylation pathway (0.57+0.65; <0.05) and glycolytic pathway (0.57+<+r>0.58; <0.05). The oxidative pathway appears to play an important role in better recovery between sprints, and the continued use of the glycolytic metabolic pathway seems to decrease sprint performances. Finally, the phosphagen pathway was linked to power production/maintenance.

“…The somatotype and the body composition can also influence an individual's performance in football [47]. Among the physical parameters, the sprint ability, especially combined with short periods of recovery [2,49], is one of the most important as it can discriminate football players into different levels [17,21,24,31]. Sprinting has been suggested as the most frequent action performed before a goal [21].…”

SummaryStudy aim: The aim of the present study was twofold: firstly, to examine the effect of age on a 20 m sprint performance; and secondly, to establish normative data for the 20 m sprint performance by age in football players. Conclusions: In summary, the speed ability of the football players improved with age until 15 years old, where it reached its peak. On the other hand, the other age groups U16 to U35 revealed no major differences in the speed over a 20 m sprint. The reference values presented in this study might help football coaches and fitness trainers in monitoring training and in the selection of players. Moreover, since this is the first study of this kind to compare adult age groups, sport scientists focusing on relevant topics might use it as a reference in future studies.
