Metabolism and performance in repeated cycle sprints: Active versus passive recovery
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to compare active versus passive recovery on performance and metabolism during a test of repeated-sprint ability. Despite no differences in the majority of performances measures, active recovery resulted in a significantly lower final peak power, a greater peak power decrement, a higher [M[La.sup.-]], and a strong trend towards lower [PCr], suggesting a potential suboptimal effect of active recovery during repeated-sprint exercise.

Effects of resistance training on [H.sub.} regulation, buffer capacity, and repeated sprints
Article Abstract:
The effects of resistance training on muscle buffer capacity, [H.sup.} regulation and repeated-sprint ability (RSA) are investigated. Investigation shows no significant improvements in muscle buffer capacity after training but there was a significant reduction in [H.sup.} in the muscle and blood after high-intensity exercise.

Induced metabolic alkalosis affects muscle metabolism and repeated-sprint ability
Article Abstract:
The effects of induced metabolic alkalosis on muscle metabolism and power output during repeated short-duration cycle sprints were assessed. Pronounced increase in posttest muscle indicates that increased anaerobic energy contribution is one mechanism by which NaHCO3 ingestion improved repeated-sprint ability (RSA).
