Bernhardt (2004) states that speed endurance is the ability to maintain a very high speed for long periods of time. Masters Athlete (2015) agrees with this and adds that recovery between sprints isn’t long enough to recover all required energy for high levels of speed endurance. Bernhardt (2004) stated that as intensity increases and duration continues, it becomes increasingly difficult for the body to provide enough oxygen so the anaerobic lactic system begins to contribute more energy to fuel the muscles. He adds that as exercise increases, so does the accumulation of lactic acid in the blood and muscles. At maximum intensity, this system is exhausted within 60 to 120 seconds. Nambier (2011) added that the timing of anaerobic lactic system is ten to two seconds and provides energy for medium to high intensity bursts of activity. Nambier also added that side effects of

It was found that from pre-test to post-test mean improvement was decreasing their 400m times by 10.53 seconds. However, there were only 8 participants so it wasn’t very reliable. It was done on participants aged 15-16 who are potential Olympians. The method of training used was interval training in three phases. Phase one used basic endurance, phase two used anaerobic threshold endurance training and phases three used overload endurance training.
Swimming.org (2012) proposed a swimming set that can improve speed endurance. The Interval set was 20x50m with a 15 second rest after each 50m. However, there are no results on whether this did improve speed endurance or not and is therefore not reliable. Though this should be valid as it was taken from the governing body of swimming; the ASA.
A typical Interval session would consist of 5-7 repetitions with about 2-3 minutes recovery- Momentum sport (2012.) Tanaka et al (1998) disagreed with this and proposed strength training should be done in lieu of
