Da Kollege Calvus mit Seinen Studien mit tausenden Probanten beschäftigt ist, versuche ich meine Aussage zu vertiefen:
1. Sprints:
Burgomaster et al. (2006) definieren Sprintintervalltraining als kurze wiederkehrende sehr intensive Belastungen.
Kubukeli et al. (2002) führten in ihrem Artikel Intervalle und Sprints mit einer Dauer von 5,15, oder 30 Sekunden oder einer Distanz von 30 – 100m an.
Burgomaster et al. (2005) verwenden 4 - 7 30-Sekunden-Sprints und 4 Minuten Pause.
Auch McKenna et al. (1997), Burgomaster et al. (2007), Iala et al. (2008), und MacDougall et al. (1998) schreiben auch von 30 Sekunden dauernden Sprints in ihren Studien.
Laursen et al. (2002) verwenden in der Studie 8 – 12 maximalen 15 Sekunden Sprints und 45 Sekunden Pause.
Paavolainen et al. (1999) behauptet, dass Sprungübungen und verschiedene Sprints die 5km-Laufzeit so heruntersetzte. Zurückzuführen ist dies durch eine verbesserte Laufökonomie und eine verbesserte maximale Geschwindigkeit.
Die Beschreibung der Trainingsformen und deren Anpassungseffekt kann man in folgenden Studien und Untersuchungen nachlesen:
