Abstract Short-duration sprints (< 10 seconds), interspersed with brief recoveries (< 60
seconds), are common during most team and racket sports. Therefore, the ability to recover …

Over the past two decades, intermittent hypoxic training (IHT), that is, a method where
athletes live at or near sea level but train under hypoxic conditions, has gained …

While intermittent hypoxic training (IHT) has been reported to evoke cellular responses via
hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) but without substantial performance benefits in endurance …

Many sport competitions, typically involving the completion of single-(eg track-and-field or
track cycling events) and multiple-sprint exercises (eg team and racquet sports, cycling …

With the advancements in player tracking technology, the topic of fatigue and pacing in team
sport has become increasingly popular in recent years. Initially based upon a pre-conceived …

Repeated sprint ability (RSA) is a critical success factor for intermittent sport performance.
Repeated sprint training has been shown to improve RSA, we hypothesised that hypoxia …

Purpose: Ischemic preconditioning enhances exercise performance. We tested the
hypothesis that ischemic preconditioning would improve intermittent exercise in the form of a …

Muscle ischemia and reperfusion induced by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) can improve
performance in various activities. However, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly …

Team sports are increasingly popular, with millions of participants worldwide. Athletes
engaged in these sports are required to repeatedly produce skilful actions and maximal or …

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of an 8-week endurance training
program on repeated-sprint (RS) performance and post-sprints muscle reoxygenation rate in …
