“…Nevertheless, performing the WAnT might be contraindicated during congested fixture periods or periods of intense training ( Freitas et al, 2021 ). In such periods, additional exercise testing fatigue would be undesirable considering that WAnT might lead to blood lactate concentration higher than 11 mmol.L –1 in soccer players ( Keir et al, 2013 ; Thom et al, 2020 ) and athletes of other sport ( Jemni et al, 2006 ), and the use of surrogate measures of short-term muscle power might be an alternative.…”

Peak power of the Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT), either in W (Ppeak) or in W.kg–1 (rPpeak), has been widely used to evaluate the performance of soccer players; however, its relationship with force–velocity (F-v) test (e.g., whether these tests can be used interchangeably) has received little scientific attention so far. The aim of this work was to develop and validate a prediction equation of Ppeak and rPpeak from F-v characteristics in male soccer players. Participants were 158 adult male soccer players (sport experience 11.4 ± 4.5 years, mean ± standard deviation, approximately five weekly training units, age 22.6 ± 3.9 years, body mass 74.8 ± 7.8 kg, and height 178.3 ± 7.8 cm) who performed both WAnT and F-v test. An experimental (EXP, n = 79) and a control group (CON, n = 79) were used for development and validation, respectively, of the prediction equation of Ppeak and rPpeak from F-v test. In EXP, Ppeak correlated very largely with body mass (r = 0.787), fat-free mass (r = 0.765), largely with maximal power of F-v test (Pmax; r = 0.639), body mass index (r = 0.603), height (r = 0.558), moderately with theoretical maximal force (F0; r = 0.481), percentage of body fat (r = 0.471), fat mass (r = 0.443, p < 0.001); rPpeak correlated with rPmax (largely; r = 0.596, p < 0.001), theoretical maximal velocity (v0; moderately; r = 0.341, p = 0.002), F0 (small magnitude; r = 0.280, p = 0.012), BF (r = −0.230, p = 0.042), and fat mass (r = −0.242, p = 0.032). Ppeak in EXP could be predicted using the formula “44.251 + 7.431 × body mass (kg) + 0.576 × Pmax (W) – 19.512 × F0” (R = 0.912, R2 = 0.833, standard error of estimate (SEE) = 42.616), and rPpeak from “3.148 + 0.218 × rPmax (W.kg–1) + v0 (rpm)” (R = 0.765, R2 = 0.585, SEE = 0.514). Applying these formulas in CON, no bias was observed between the actual and the predicted Ppeak (mean difference 2.5 ± 49.8 W; 95% CI, −8.7, 13.6; p = 0.661) and rPpeak (mean difference 0.05 ± 0.71 W.kg–1; 95% CI, −0.11, 0.21, p = 0.525). These findings provided indirect estimates of Ppeak of the WAnT, especially useful in periods when this test should not be applied considering the fatigue it causes; in this context, the F-v test can be considered as an alternative of exercise testing for estimating the average Ppeak of a group of soccer players rather than for predicting individual scores when the interindividual variation of performance is small.

“…In many team sports, practitioners and rehabilitation staff will choose training practices that simultaneously reduce musculoskeletal load while promoting appropriate central and peripheral stimuli. The use of cycle-based HIIT has been used with team sport athletes over periods of 2–6 weeks to improve intermittent running and cycling performance (Jones et al 2015 ; Hamlin et al 2017 ; Beard et al 2019 ; Thom et al 2020 ), while others have reported no effect of 5 weeks of cycle-based HIIT on running performance (Goods et al 2015 ). Cycling might be adopted for athletes who require more careful load management, e.g., during rehabilitation after injury or in the days after match play, or to provide alternative training stimuli (Mallol et al 2020 ; Thom et al 2020 ).…”

Purpose The acute physiological, perceptual and neuromuscular responses to volume-matched running and cycling high intensity interval training (HIIT) were studied in team sport athletes. Methods In a randomized cross-over design, 11 male team sport players completed 3 × 6 min (with 5 min between sets) repeated efforts of 15 s exercising at 120% speed (s$$\dot{\text{V}}$$ V ˙ O2max) or power (p$$\dot{\text{V}}$$ V ˙ O2max) at $$\dot{\text{V}}$$ V ˙ O2max followed by 15 s passive recovery on a treadmill or cycle ergometer, respectively. Results Absolute mean $$\dot{\text{V}}$$ V ˙ O2 (ES [95% CI] = 1.46 [0.47–2.34], p < 0.001) and heart rate (ES [95% CI] = 1.53 [0.53–2.41], p = 0.001) were higher in running than cycling HIIT. Total time at > 90% $$\dot{\text{V}}$$ V ˙ O2max during the HIIT was higher for running compared to cycling (ES [95% CI] = 1.21 [0.26–2.07], p = 0.015). Overall differential RPE (dRPE) (ES [95% CI] = 0.55 [− 0.32–1.38], p = 0.094) and legs dRPE (ES [95% CI] = − 0.65 [− 1.48–0.23], p = 0.111) were similar, whereas breathing dRPE (ES [95% CI] = 1.01 [0.08–1.85], p = 0.012) was higher for running. Maximal isometric knee extension force was unchanged after running (ES [95% CI] = − 0.04 [− 0.80–0.8], p = 0.726) compared to a moderate reduction after cycling (ES [95% CI] = − 1.17 [− 2.02–0.22], p = 0.001). Conclusion Cycling HIIT in team sport athletes is unlikely to meet the requirements for improving run-specific metabolic adaptation but might offer a greater lower limb neuromuscular load.

PurposeRemote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a method of protection against induced ischemia reperfusion injury, and an increasing number of studies showed some of its inconclusive ergogenic effects in sports. RIPC involves short cycles of cuff inflation followed by its deflation which may affect many body systems. While most of the studies focus on single RIPC effects, there is insufficient data regarding training-like repeated RIPC interventions. Thus, in this study, we analyzed the effect of a single- and consecutive 10-day RIPC procedure on a single leg, focusing on the exerkine levels and changes in inflammation markers following the Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT).MethodsTwo single-blinded, sham-controlled protocols were designed to evaluate the 1) single (crossover study) and 2) consecutive 10-day (parallel study) RIPC effects on the WAnT performance and exercise-induced lactate, glucose, exerkine, and inflammation markers (BDNF; IL-6; IL-10; IL-15; LIF; oncostatin M). In each protocol, 37 physically active men (19.98 ± 1.17 years) were randomly assigned into two groups according to a particular study design.ResultsAn increase in participants’ mean (4.81%, p < 0.05) and peak power (6.25%, p < 0.05) during the WAnT was observed only after the consecutive 10-day RIPC. Similarly, a significant 15.5% (p < 0.05) decrease in the IL-6 concentration 120 min after the WAnT was observed only in the consecutive 10-day RIPC protocol, as well as a 12.2% (p < 0.01) increase in oncostatin M 60 min after the WAnT.ConclusionThe results demonstrate the efficacy of the consecutive 10-day RIPC procedure in modulating exercise performance and post-exercise inflammation markers.
