Neuromuscular, cardiometabolic, and perceptual responses to a short sprint interval training session with different cycling torques.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposesShort sprint interval training (sSIT) can improve both aerobic and anaerobic indices through different protocol designs with sprinting bouts lasting ≤ 10 s. However, the limited available evidence does not allow the comprehensive understanding of the acute psycho-physiological effects of applying different torques during cycling sSIT protocols with very short, "all out" sprints. This study aims to evaluate the impact of high (HT) versus low (LT) torques on neuromuscular performance, cardiometabolic, and perceptual responses during a sSIT session of 5-s sprints.
methodsAfter familiarizations and determination of HT and LT with a graded sprinting test, 15 physically active individuals completed, in randomized order, 2 sSIT sessions (12, 5-s sprints on a cycle ergometer) with HT and LT. Mechanical (i.e., power, cadence, and rate of fatigue), physiological [i.e., surface electromyography (sEMG), oxygen consumption (VO
resultsMean cadence and power, rate of fatigue, and RPE were higher in HT (p < 0.05), while time to peak power, sEMG amplitude, and affective valence were higher in LT (p < 0.05). Cardiometabolic parameters were similar during and after both protocols (p > 0.05).
conclusionsThe manipulation of torque in a sSIT protocol with 5-s sprints promotes different neuromuscular and perceptual responses, but with no differences between conditions for cardiometabolic responses. These findings are relevant for designing sSIT protocols to adapt neuromuscular and perceptual loading based on targeted outcomes for specific populations.
