“…In agreement with previous studies (Boddington, 2002;Spencer et al, 2005;Gabbett, 2010;Lythe and Kilding, 2011;Macutkiewicz and Sunderland, 2011), and accord with our research hypothesis, there are positional differences exiting in both the players' total distances covered and distances at various speed zones. Midfielders and forwards covered significantly greater distance than defenders at total distance and at intensities of high-speed running, moderate-speed running, low-speed running and jogging.…”

“…The finding that 8.3% of the total distance was covered at high intensities (sprinting and high-speed running) was greater than most of the previous studies (Boddington, 2002;Spencer et al, 2004;Spencer et al, 2005;Gabbett, 2010;Macutkiewicz and Sunderland, 2011;Lythe and Kilding, 2011), but lower than Macleod et al (2007) and Jennings et al (2012). The differences may be generated from the research technologies (i.e.…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the match work-rate of Chinese field hockey players by analyzing the distance covered at different intensities pooled by specific positions during different periods of matches. Thirty-eight players from twenty-four male field hockey matches at the 11 th Chinese National Games were filmed and analyzed. Results showed that players covered an average distance of 7334±877m; 91.7% of this distance was covered at low and medium intensity; total distance covered in the first half (3693±441 m) was more (p<0.001) than the second (3640±437 m); distance covered at all speed zones (except walking) significantly decreased at the second half; total distance covered by forwards (7709±720 m) and midfielders(7733±729m) was greater than defenders (6671±745 m); positional difference were detected among all the speed zones as well; comparison of interaction of the match period and playing position showed higher values in sprinting during the first half compared to the second for forwards (p<0.01), and in moderate-speed running for defenders (p=0.0001). These results could be used to provide guidance on evaluating players' performance and formulating training prescriptions.

“…The IST was designed to mimic the physiological demands of one half of a typical team-sport game 16 and involved 36 minutes of repeated-sprint exercise divided into 2-min periods of a 4-s sprint, 100 seconds of active recovery at 35% of Vo 2peak , and 16 seconds of passive rest. The active recovery intensity was calculated from regression analysis of power output against There were also two repeated-sprint bouts which occurred during the 100-s active recovery following sprint 8 and 16 that comprised five, 2-s sprints separated by ~18-s cycling at 35% Vo 2peak .…”

Purpose:To examine the effect of hypohydration on physiological strain and intermittent sprint exercise performance in the heat (35.5 ± 0.6°C, 48.7 ± 3.4% relative humidity).Methods:Eight unacclimatized males (age 23.4 ± 6.2 y, height 1.78 ± 0.04 m, mass 76.8 ± 7.7 kg) undertook three trials, each over two days. On day 1, subjects performed 90 min of exercise/heat-induced dehydration on a cycle ergometer, before following one of three rehydration strategies. On day 2, subjects completed a 36-min cycling intermittent sprint test (IST) with a -0.62 ± 0.74% (euhydrated, EUH), -1.81 (0.99)% (hypohydrated1, HYPO1), or -3.88 ± 0.89% (hypohydrated2, HYPO2) body mass defcit.Results:No difference was observed in average total work (EUH, 3790 ± 556 kJ; HYPO1, 3785 ± 628 kJ; HYPO2, 3647 ± 339 kJ, P = 0.418), or average peak power (EUH, 1315 ± 129 W; HYPO1, 1304 ± 175 W; HYPO2, 1282 ± 128 W, P = 0.356) between conditions on day 2. Total work and peak power output in the sprint immediately following an intense repeated sprint bout during the IST were lower in the HYPO2 condition. Physiological strain index was greater in the HYPO2 vs. the EUH condition, but without changes in metabolic markers.Conclusion:A greater physiological strain was observed with the greatest degree of hypohydration; however, sprint performance only diminished in the most hypohydrated state near the end of the IST, following an intense bout of repeating sprinting.

Ruscello, B, Tozzo, N, Briotti, G, Padua, E, Ponzetti, F, and D'Ottavio, S. Influence of the number of trials and the exercise to rest ratio in repeated sprint ability, with changes of direction and orientation. J Strength Cond Res 27(7) : 1904-1919, 2013-The purpose of this investigation was to determine if there were different trends in physical fatigue observed in 3 different sets, of 7 trials each, in repeated sprint training, performed in 3 different modes: straight sprinting over 30 m, shuttle sprinting over 15 + 15 m, and sprinting over 30 m with changes of direction. Recovery time among trials in the sets was administered according to the 1:5 exercise to rest ratio. The sets were performed on 3 different days, with at least 48 hours between each set. The study involved 17 trained male soccer players (height, 177.33 6 6.21 cm; body mass, 71.63 6 9.58 kg; body mass index, 23 6 2.39 kg$m 22 ; age, 21.94 6 3.58 years). To compare the different values of the time recorded, an index of fatigue was used. Significant differences among trials within each set (repeated measures analysis of variance; p , 0.05) and between the sets (factorial analysis of variance; p , 0.001) were found. Significant correlations between each test and countermovement jump and stiffness values recorded pre exercise were found (p , 0.05). Significant differences between countermovement jump and stiffness values recorded pre and post exercise were also found (p , 0.05). This study suggests that training sessions aimed at increasing the capacity of repeated sprint ability in nonlinear and multidirectional sprints (shuttle and change of direction), which might imply a different number of trials within the set or different exercise to rest ratios from the ones usually adopted for straight sprinting, to induce similar trends of fatigue. As practical applications, the estimated numbers of necessary trials in the different sets and the possible exercise to rest ratios, resulting from mathematical modeling, are provided for each investigated sprinting mode.
