Page 1: Abstract, Conclusions, sentence 4. The following sentence, which read:


Moreover, the intensity (load) is not a determinant of sprint performance improvement, but the recommended volume is > 160 m per session, and approximately 2680 m per week, with a training frequency of two to three times per week, for at least 6 weeks.

Moreover, the intensity (load) is not a determinant of sprint performance improvement, but the recommended volume is > 160 m per session, and approximately 2680 m per total training program, with a training frequency of two to three times per week, for at least 6 weeks.


Page 6: Section 3.3, paragraph 3, sentence 2. The following sentence, which read:


A large ES was obtained for a frequency over twice a week (ES 1.85) [55], and moderate ESs were found for lower loads (ES 0.61) [39, 55–57, 59–65], > 6-week training periods (ES 0.63) [39, 55, 56, 60, 63–66], session volume > 160 m (ES 0.92) [55, 56, 59, 60, 64], total weekly training volume > 2680 m (ES 0.83) [55, 59, 60, 64], and rigid surface (ES 0.69) [39, 56, 61, 64].

Page 6: Section 3.3, paragraph 3, sentence 3. The following sentence, which read:


Small ESs were also found for a training frequency equal to or fewer than two trainings per week (ES 0.52) [39, 56, 57, 59–66], a total weekly training volume < 2680 m (ES 0.53) [39, 56, 57, 61–63, 65, 66], and grass surface (ES 0.47) [59, 60, 65, 66].

Page 19: Section 4.1, paragraph 7, sentence 1. The following sentence, which read:


Another variable that should be considered when designing training programs with RST is volume, both for each session and for the microcycle.

Another variable that should be considered when designing training programs with RST is volume, both for each session and for the training cycle (i.e. mesocycle).


Page 19: Section 4.1, paragraph 7, sentence 4. The following sentence, which read:


Similarly, when weekly volumes were compared, higher volumes (> 2680 m) produced a moderate effect (ES 0.83) compared with volumes 720–2680 m (ES 0.53), although the effects were statistically significant for both volume per session and weekly volume.


should read:


Similarly, when total training volumes were compared, higher volumes (> 2680 m) produced a moderate effect (ES 0.83) compared with volumes 720–2680 m (ES 0.53), although the effects were statistically significant for both volume per session and total training volume.


Page 20: Section 4.2, paragraph 2, final sentence. The following sentence, which read:


With respect to the training characteristics, the effect was small in all cases and significant with loads < 20% BM (ES 0.35; p = 0.02), weekly training frequencies of ≤ 2 days (ES 0.35; p = 0.02), for duration > 6 weeks (ES 0.39; p = 0.01), volumes per session > 160 m (ES 0.53; p = 0.03), and weekly values > 2680 m (ES 0.53; p = 0.03).

Page 21: Section 5, paragraph 1, sentence 7. The following sentence, which read:


Finally, with regards to the training characteristics, the intensity (load) is not a determinant of sprint performance improvement, but the recommended volume is > 160 m per session, and approximately 2680 m per week, with a training frequency of 2–3 times per week, for at least 6 weeks.
