| Abstract | This study examined the physiological, physical and technicalresponses to repeated-sprint training in normobaric hypoxia[RSH, inspired fraction of oxygen (FiO2) 14.5 %] vs. normoxia(RSN, FiO2 20.9 %). Within 12 days, eighteen well-trained tennisplayers (RSH, n = 9 vs. RSN, n = 9) completed five specific repeated-sprint sessions that consisted of four sets of 5 maximalshuttle-run sprints. Testing sessions included repeated-sprintability and Test to Exhaustion Specific to Tennis (TEST). TEST’smaximal duration to exhaustion and time to attain the ‘onsetof blood lactate accumulation’ at 4 mMol.L − 1 (OBLA) improvementswere significantly higher in RSH compared to RSN.Change in time to attain OBLA was concomitant with observationssimilar in time to the second ventilatory threshold. Significantinteraction (P = 0.003) was found for ball accuracy withgreater increase in RSH ( + 13.8 %, P = 0.013) vs. RSN (–4.6 %,P = 0.15). A correlation (r = 0.59, P < 0.001) was observed betweenchange in ball accuracy and TEST’s time to exhaustion.Greater improvement in some tennis-specific physical andtechnical parameters was observed after only 5 sessions of RSHvs. RSN in well-trained tennis players. |
