However, the effect of time factor on the VO2max values during experiment period was significant (F= 18.27 p0.05). Results and discussion The effect of the group factor on VO2max was not significant (F= 2.59 p>0.05). Repeated measures of ANOVA were used for analysis of VO2max (2×4 group×time) and anaerobic power (2×2 group×time). The sprint number was increased gradually. Each training contained maximal 20 m RST with 30 sec. The training group was applied a familiarization week, 4-week RST, 4th week detraining and 8th week detraining measures respectively. Detraining period was determined as 8 weeks. The study consisted of preliminary measures, training, post training measures and detraining periods. None of the subjects were specifically attended regularly training program. The subjects were (11 male and 14 female) students in Selçuk University Recreation Department. Method Twenty-five recreationally active individuals volunteered to take part in the experiment.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the RST and detraining on aerobic and anaerobic performances. To our knowledge no studies have focused on the RST and detraining periods on aerobic and anaerobic performances. It has been known to many training adaptations decreased in detraining period. In this situation, there has been investigated the increase of VO2max and some aerobic enzymes in addition to increase of the activity of anaerobic performance and enzymes (Dawson et al., 1998).

The sprint number is generally 10-20 maximal sprint or shuttle sprints with under 10 sec. Introduction Repeated sprint training (RST) is used by many sport professionals and characterized by maximal intensity sprints with short recovery durations (Bishop et al., 2011).
