Key result
Seven weeks of sprint training in healthy men significantly increased maximal incremental exercise values of ventilation (by 15.7%), VCO2 (by 9.3%), and VO2 (by 15.0%) (P<0.05).
Why the study?
Does 7 weeks of sprint training improve gas exchange across the lungs and active skeletal muscle during and following maximal cycling exercise in healthy males?
Does 7 weeks of sprint training improve gas exchange across the lungs and active skeletal muscle during and following maximal cycling exercise in healthy males?
p-value: p=<0.05
Seven weeks of sprint training in healthy males enhances aerobic metabolism and gas exchange across the lungs and active muscles, potentially reducing fatigability during maximal exercise.

Hypothesis-generating for gas exchange gains with sprint training in healthy men; leaves open clinical translation and RCT confirmation.
McKenna et al. (1997) studied Healthy (n=8). Sprint training vs. Pre-training (baseline) was evaluated on Maximal incremental exercise values of ventilation (VE), VCO2, and VO2 (p=<0.05). Seven weeks of sprint training in healthy men significantly increased maximal incremental exercise values of ventilation (by 15.7%), VCO2 (by 9.3%), and VO2 (by 15.0%) (P<0.05).
