Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship between aerobic power and repeated sprint ability. Division III collegiate football players (n = 30) participated in the study. On the first day of testing, each subject completed the Yo Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 2 (YYI2). On the second day of testing, each subject completed a repeated sprint test using football specific work to rest ratios that included two rounds of 6 sprints. No significant relationship was found between end stage completed in the YYI2 and percent decrement in round one, round two, or total (p > .05). Two main limitations were identified in the study. The first was that the difficulty level of the YYI2 for the subjects was too high. The second was the lack of concealing from the subjects the number of total sprints that would be completed. While no significant relationship was found, practical implications could be useful for strength and conditioning coaches involved in the physical preparation of collegiate football players.
