(A) Fatigue test battery testing (grey squares) with control protocol (circle) and fatigue intervention (triangle). (B) Fatigue intervention consisting of 4 sprint sets interspersed with 90 s active recovery (dashed square). (C) Sprint set breakdown consisting of 10 x 6 s sprints (crossed rectangle) with 30 s active recovery (dashed square).

Neuromuscular fatigue questionnaire results.
The mean (SD) neuromuscular fatigue questionnaire responses (n = 30) for the control (circles) and fatigue interventions (squares) from immediately prior (Pre) to 48 h post condition. *Significant (p < 0.05) difference between conditions at the identified time point using a Benjamini-Hochberg post hoc procedure.

The mean (SD) squat jump result (n = 31) for the control (circles) and fatigue interventions (squares) of (A) flight time to contraction time ratio (FT:CT) and (B) peak propulsive (concentric) velocity. Time points from immediately prior (Pre) to 48 h post condition. *Significant (p < 0.05) difference between conditions at the identified time point using a Benjamini-Hochberg post hoc procedure.

Counter movement jump results.
The mean (SD) countermovement jump result (n = 31) for the control (circles) and fatigue interventions (squares) of (A) jump height; (B) flight time to contraction time ratio (FT:CT) and (C) peak propulsive (concentric) velocity. Time points from immediately prior (Pre) to 48 h post condition. *Significant (p < 0.05) difference between conditions at the identified time point using a Benjamini-Hochberg post hoc procedure.

The mean (SD) maximal cycling sprint (Sprintmax) result (n = 30) for the control (circles) and fatigue interventions (squares) of (A) sprint average cadence, (B) sprint peak cadence, (C) sprint average power and (D) sprint peak power variables. Time points from immediately prior (Pre) to 48 h post condition. *Significant (p < 0.05) difference between interventions at the identified time point using a Benjamini-Hochberg post hoc procedure.
