THE DREW REVIEW: THE MANUAL, VOL. 1, CHAPTER 8, POSSIBLE PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO FATIGUE IN TEAM SPORT ATHLETES, DR. BEN PETERSON

Drew's Review: “Based on the literature, there appears to be no single causative factor in RSA” –Dr. B. Peterson

The Manual (CVASP, 2016) chapter 8 is a great review of all things repeat sprint ability (RSA) or as Dr. Peterson identifies as repeat sprint exercise (RSE) for team sports. This was a great topic for me as it will be for any strength coach who works with team sports (practically every one of you). The chapter starts off with a crash course on energy system utilization for RSA, and then Dr. Peterson gives his own conclusions on what limits RSA given the evidence he has studied. This is a great read because it presents a unique problem (what limits RSA?) in the sports performance realm when it comes to training team sports. If you are a strength coach who is interested in physiology of sport and wants an entertaining read, this chapter is for you.
