PURPOSE: We investigated the effects of low and high volume speed endurance training (SET), with a reduced training volume, on sprint ability, short- and long-term exercise capacity, muscle mitochondrial properties, ion transport proteins and maximal enzyme activity in highly trained athletes. METHODS: Highly-trained male cyclists (V̇O2max: 68.3 ± 5.0 mL × min-1 × kg-1, n = 24) completed six weeks of either low (SET-L; 6x30-s intervals, n = 8) or high (SET-H; 12 × 30-s intervals, n = 8) volume SET twice per week with a 30%-reduction in training volume...
