Sprint showdown: which training boosts speed more?
NCT ID NCT07329465
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two different exercise programs—Tabata training and periodized resistance training—to see which one better improves power, speed, and agility in sprinters. Thirty-eight sprinters, aged 18 to 35, followed their assigned program three times a week for eight weeks. The goal was to find out which training method helps sprinters run faster and change direction more quickly.
