The physiological mechanisms of performance enhancement with sprint interval training differ between the upper and lower extremities in humans.

The physiological mechanisms of performance enhancement with sprint interval training differ between the upper and lower extremities in humans.

To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the differences in adaptation of arm and leg muscles to sprint training, over a period of 11 days 16 untrained men performed six sessions of 4-6x30-sec all-out sprints (SIT) with the legs and arms, separately, with a 1-h interval of recovery. Limb-specific VO2p...
