Repeated Sprint Ability Training
Repeated sprint ability training stacks short maximal sprints with incomplete rest—building speed endurance late in matches when aerobic base is already covered.
Repeated sprint ability training stacks short maximal efforts—often 10–30 m—with incomplete recovery to mimic the fatigue of match sprints. It improves speed maintenance late in halves when aerobic base is already solid.
Progress rep count slowly; two sessions weekly is enough for many amateurs. Always precede with a thorough warm-up and hamstring primer.
Common questions
-
How many sprints per RSA session?
Six to ten reps is a common starting range; add one or two reps per week only if times stay within a few percent and hamstrings report no next-day tightness.
