There’s currently minimal evidence to recommend increased training frequency (+1 set per week), program duration (+1 week), RST volume (+200 m per week), number of reps (+2 reps) or longer sprint distance (+10 m), with more research needed 🧐

But, compared to 3 sets per session, 4 sets may further enhance intermittent running performance. Combined with a lower number of reps per set (4-6), this is a more effective strategy to enhance physical performance, rather than long series of exhaustive efforts (eg 10-12 reps).

3 sets of 6 x 30 m sprints performed twice per week is a highly effective training program ✅.

RST consistently improves 10 m (0.04 s) and 20 m (0.06 s) sprint times by about 2-3%. Considering that the smallest worthwhile change in sprint performance is 1-2%, these changes are significant 👊🏻

However, the ability to perform repeated high-intensity efforts (ie during the YoYo L1) is enhanced to a greater extent with RST, with a mean improvement of 252m or about 6.5 shuttles.

From baseline, the improvement in VO2max (treadmill with gas analysis) is 2.2 min or approximately 4%. While considerable, this may be slightly less than Long HIT and small-sided games.

Specifically, it improves VO2max, Yo-Yo distance, and RSA decrement by moderate magnitudes, as well as 10 and 20 m sprint times, COD ability, CMJ height, and RSA by small magnitudes 👏🏻
