Rugby sevens, a sport new to the Olympics, features high-intensity intermittent running and
contact efforts over short match durations, normally 6 times across 2 to 3 d in a tournament …

Background High volume power training (HVPT) involves high volumes of high-velocity
resistance training, with the aim to improve repeated high-intensity efforts (RHIEs). Repeat …

Purpose: To analyze the effects of different inertial loads on power production and power
maintenance, as well as the number of sessions required for proper familiarization during …

Studies investigating the effect of rest interval length (RI) between sets on neuromuscular
performance and metabolic response during power training are scarce. Therefore, the …

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of different load intensities with rest
intervals between sets on heart rate, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), power output, and …
