Abstract

PurposeSprint interval training (SIT) provides a potent stimulus for improving maximal aerobic capacity ( V˙O2maxV˙O2max), which is among the strongest markers for future cardiovascular health and premature mortality. Cycling-based SIT protocols involving six or more ‘all-out’ 30-s Wingate sprints p...

Cycling-based SIT protocols involving six or more &#x2018;all-out&#x2019; 30-s Wingate sprints per training session improve V&#x2D9;O2maxV&#x2D9;O2max, but we have recently demonstrated that similar improvements in V&#x2D9;O2maxV&#x2D9;O2max can be achieved with as few as two 20-s sprints.

Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine whether a single 20-s cycle sprint per training session can provide a sufficient stimulus for improving V&#x2D9;O2maxV&#x2D9;O2max.MethodsThirty sedentary or recreationally active participants (10 men/20 women; mean &#xB1; SD age: 24 &#xB1; 6 years, BMI: 22.6 &#xB1; 4.0 kg m&#x2212;2, V&#x2D9;O2maxV&#x2D9;O2max: 33 &#xB1; 7 mL kg&#x2212;1 min&#x2212;1) were randomised to a training group or a no-intervention control group. Training involved three exercise sessions per week for 4 weeks, consisting of a single 20-s Wingate sprint (no warm-up or cool-down). V&#x2D9;O2maxV&#x2D9;O2max was determined prior to training and 3 days following the final training session.ResultsMean V&#x2D9;O2maxV&#x2D9;O2max did not significantly change in the training group (2.15 &#xB1; 0.62 vs. 2.22 &#xB1; 0.64 L min&#x2212;1) or the control group (2.07 &#xB1; 0.69 vs. 2.08 &#xB1; 0.68 L min&#x2212;1; effect of time: P = 0.17; group &#xD7; time interaction effect: P = 0.26).ConclusionAlthough we have previously demonstrated that regularly performing two repeated 20-s &#x2018;all-out&#x2019; cycle sprints provides a sufficient training stimulus for a robust increase in V&#x2D9;O2maxV&#x2D9;O2max, our present study suggests that this is not the case when training sessions are limited to a single sprint.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>European Journal of Applied Physiology</journal><volume>116</volume><journalNumber>8</journalNumber><paginationStart>1511</paginationStart><paginationEnd>1517</paginationEnd><publisher/><issnPrint>1439-6319</issnPrint><issnElectronic>1439-6327</issnElectronic><keywords>V&#x2D9;O2 max, High-intensity interval training, SIT, Wingate sprint, Sprint interval</keywords><publishedDay>1</publishedDay><publishedMonth>8</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2016</publishedYear><publishedDate>2016-08-01</publishedDate><doi>10.1007/s00421-016-3409-8</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Sport and Exercise Sciences</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>STSC</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><lastEdited>2018-04-13T14:34:43.6316064</lastEdited><Created>2017-09-26T13:28:13.5358397</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Science and Engineering</level><level id="2">School of Aerospace, Civil, Electrical, General and Mechanical Engineering - Sport and Exercise Sciences</level></path><authors><author><firstname>P.</firstname><surname>Songsorn</surname><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>A.</firstname><surname>Lambeth-Mansell</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>J.
