Background Since the introduction (in 2006) of commercially available portable wireless
muscle oximeters, the use of muscle near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology is …

Background Repeated-sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) is a recent intervention regarding
which numerous studies have reported effects on sea-level physical performance outcomes …

Background Repeated-sprint training (RST) involves maximal-effort, short-duration sprints
(≤ 10 s) interspersed with brief recovery periods (≤ 60 s). Knowledge about the acute …

Ice hockey is an intense team sport characterized by repeated bursts of fast‐paced skating,
rapid changes in speed and direction and frequent physical encounters. These are …

Stiffness, the resistance to deformation due to force, has been used to model the way in
which the lower body responds to landing during cyclic motions such as running and …

Background There is a growing body of research examining the effects of plyometric jump
training (PJT) on repeated sprint ability (RSA) in athletes. However, available studies …

In order to better understand the specificity of training adaptations, we compared the effects
of two different anaerobic training regimes on various types of soccer-related exercise …

Stride mechanical imbalances between the lower limbs may be detrimental to performance
and/or increase injury risks. This study describes the time course and magnitude of …

Blood flow restrictive (BFR) exercise elicits a localized hypoxic environment compatible with
greater metabolic stress. We intended to compare the acute changes in muscle …

Objective To evaluate the effects of repeated sprint (RS) training in hypoxia on aerobic
performance, repeated sprint ability (RSA), and muscle oxygenation in Rugby Sevens …
