#8: Repeated super short sprints for strength and power Benefits: Strength, power, anaerobic capacity, better energy use. Who’s it For: Anaerobic athletes such as those in combat sports like wrestlers and judokas. Super short sprints of less than 5 seconds per sprint with minimal rest will improve power. They have also been found to produce the greatest lactate buildup of all measured protocols. Use It: Try six to ten repeats of 35-meter all-out sprints with 10 seconds rest. That’s what combat athletes did twice a week for 4 weeks in order to increase peak power by 16 percent, work capacity by 32 percent, and achieve a more favorable testosterone to cortisol ratio.
