Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to study the impact of different recovery times on repeated sprint performance (TSP). For this purpose, 15 male volunteers have participated in recreational activity (age: 23.06 1.98 years; size: 173.5 5.8 cm; body weight: 72.9 9.9 kg; fat percentage: 10.0 4.8%). TSP is determined by a repeated sprint test of 12x20m. Participants have participated randomly with a repetitive 20m sprint testineaz interval of 48 hours, which is applied with 4 different recovery periods (uninterrupted, 15s, 30s, 45s). The participants have determined the sprint time, the total sprint time and the performance decrease percentage. Repeated measurements showed the results of the variance analysis that there was a significant difference between the different recovery times for 10-20 m and 0-20 m distances at sprint time (p<0.05). When it comes to the total sprint time, the repeated 20m sprint test, which was applied with four different recovery times, found that the participants had a statistically significant difference between the total sprint times of 0-10m, 10-20m and 0-20m (p<0.05). Similarly, the repeated 20 meters sprint test, which was applied with four different recovery times, found that there was a significant difference between the performance decrease percentages of participants at all distances (p<0.05). The results of this study showed that the 15s recoverable TSP has a more negative impact on repeated sprint performance than the 30s and 45s recoverable TSP time.
