Recovery kinetics following sprint training: resisted versus unresisted sprints
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2023 Abstract Purpose To determine the recovery kinetics of performance and exercise-induced muscle damage following different sprint-training protocols. Methods In a crossover design, ten male and female athletes (20.6 ± 2.4 years) performed 2 × (3 × 20 m: 2 min rest) and 1× (3 ×
