Before (Pre) and after (Post) training, a running RSA test consisting of performing maximum 30-m \u201call-out\u201d sprints until task failure, with a minimum of 10 sprints, was implemented.\n \n Results<\/jats:bold>\n :\n <\/jats:italic>\n The maximum number of sprints was increased at Post compared to Pre in RSH-VHL only (13.5\u2009[4.4] vs 7.7\u2009[2.3],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.01) and was greater in RSH-VHL than in RSN at Post (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.01). The mean velocity for sprints 1 to 10 and sprints 6 to 10 was increased in both groups at Post (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.01) but was greater in RSH-VHL than in RSN after the training period (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.01). There was no change in the reference velocity (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.80) or in the maximal velocity reached during the RSA test (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.52) in either group. The mean minimal arterial oxygen saturation recorded during training at the end of the sprints was lower in RSH-VHL (78.5%\u2009[1.4%]) than in RSN (97.3%\u2009[0.1%]).\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:bold>\n :\n <\/jats:italic>\n This study shows that an RSH-VHL intervention including prolonged EEBH can provide an additional benefit for improving RSA in male semiprofessional soccer players. This result may be due in large part to the strong hypoxic effect induced by the prolonged EEBH.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2024-0444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,24]],"date-time":"2025-02-24T13:39:59Z","timestamp":1740404399000},"page":"568-574","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Additional Benefits of Repeated-Sprint Training With Prolonged End-Expiratory Breath Holding for Improving Repeated-Sprint Ability in Semiprofessional Soccer Players"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8182-2038","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Franti\u0161ek","family":"L\u00f6rinczi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Comenius University Bratislava, Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7898-2206","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Miroslav","family":"Vav\u00e1k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Comenius University Bratislava, Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8150-9153","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xavier","family":"Woorons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Lille, Universit\u00e9 d'Artois, Universit\u00e9 du Littoral C\u00f4te d\u2019Opale, ULR 7369\u2013URePSSS\u2013Unit\u00e9 de Recherche Pluridisciplinaire Sport Sant\u00e9 Soci\u00e9t\u00e9, Lille, France"},{"name":"Association for Research and Promotion of Hypoventilation Training, Lille, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"r1","series-title":"Sports Med","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"673","DOI":"10.2165\/11590550-000000000-00000","article-title":"Repeated-sprint ability\u2014part I: factors contributing to fatigue","volume":"41","author":"Girard O","year":"2011","unstructured":"Girard O, Mendez-Villanueva A, Bishop D.
