Effect of between-set rest intervals on repeated-sprint ability and physiological responses in indoor sport athletes
Indoor team sports (e.g. basketball, handball, floorball) allow unlimited substitutions, where players go through a work-rest pattern of multiple high-intensity sprints during play and resting off-court during substitution repeatedly. This can be like performing repeated-sprint sets (RSS) with recov...

Indoor team sports (e.g. basketball, handball, floorball) allow unlimited substitutions, where players go through a work-rest pattern of multiple high-intensity sprints during play and resting off-court during substitution repeatedly.
