  • generalisation of findings is limited as validity and reliability of a GPS device may be affected by the manufacturer and the sampling rate
18
Q

Waldron et al., 2010 - GPS Systems

A
  • reliability of current devices is constantly evaluated
  • user caution is needed to utilise equipment to assess sprinting activity
19

  • many studies use protocols that replicate typical patterns of multiple sprint activities but remain well controlled in a lab environment
  • facilitates better insight into physiology of games
  • focus of this work has dealt with metabolic and cardio-respiratory responses to repeated bouts of max-ex with some work on diet manipulation

  • power output during a sprint can be many times more than that achieved during a test of VO2max
21
Q

A
  • PPO during 6s cycle sprint 5x greater than power output at VO2max
  • subsequent sprints with insufficient recovery produce significant reductions in power output

Q

Jenkins et al., 1994 - Sprint Ability Improvements After 3 Weeks Training

A

-10x6s cycle sprint, 24s passive recovery, 3 times per week for 3 weeks (9 sessions)
- power output improved with sprint training
- Blac was increased following training
- no change in blood pH
- greater PO was due to improved GMP, but the increase in Blac suggests greater anaerobic glycolysis
- unaltered pH suggests improved intramuscular buffering preventing an increase in acidoses and this would facilitate a quicker PCr resynthesis
- resting muscle glycogen increased 26%
- resting citrate synthase increased 38%
- 2 weeks of SIT increases muscle oxidative potential and doubles endurance capacity during intense cycling

31
Q

Aerobic Adaptations to Intermittent Training

A

Greater VO2max derived from changes in:
- cardiac and skeletal muscle hypertrophy
- angiogenesis
- hypervolemia
- muscle oxidative metabolism
- fuel storage (muscle and glycogen and TG’s)

32
Q

Anaerobic Adaptations to Intermittent Training

A
  • Burgomaster et al., 2005 = greater capacity for muscle glycogen storage
  • Jenkins et al., 1994 = greater buffering to reduce drop in blood pH and allow for continued PCr resynthesis
