Abstract

400-m races are based on anaerobic energy metabolism, they induce significant muscle fatigue, muscle fiber damage, and high blood lactate (LA) concentration. Despite extensive research on sprint training, our understanding of the training process that leads to world-class sprint performance is...

Description

The study compares anaerobic power and lactate levels in elite vs. sub-elite sprinters.
