Despite a voluminous body of research devoted to sprint training, our understanding of the
training process leading to a world-class sprint performance is limited. The objective of this …

The shape of the force-velocity (FV) relationship has important implications for different
aspects of muscle physiology, such as muscle efficiency and fatigue, the understanding of …

This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of global (GPS) and local (LPS)
positioning systems for measuring distances covered and sprint mechanical properties in …

Ballistic performances are determined by both the maximal lower limb power output (P max)
and their individual force-velocity (Fv) mechanical profile, especially the Fv imbalance (FV …
