Billaut, Francois and Smith, Kurt (2010) Prolonged repeated-sprint ability is related to arterial O2 desaturation in men. International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 5 (2). pp. 197-209. ISSN 1555-0265

Abstract

The ability to repeatedly generate maximum power output is usually accompanied by neuromuscular adjustments. This study aimed to explore the occurrence of arterial O2 desaturation during prolonged repeated-sprint ability (RSA) testing and its relationship to neuromuscular activity, as evidenced by changes in surface integrated electromyogram (iEMG). The study suggests that in a homogenous group of athletes a progressive arterial O2 desaturation develops during a prolonged RSA test, which may contribute toward performance regulation via an effect on sense of effort and neuromuscular activity.
