Working anaerobic energy system, using GPS to measure % HR max (Kostelis et al, 2015).
Using 30m to go beyond demands of position.
Rationale: 90° turns in football (Bloomfield, 2007)
> 50% HR max jogging through slalom
> 60% HR max jumping double footed over hurdles
> Sprinting 90-100% HR max from red cone to blue cone to red cone
> Decelerate in straight line after last cone
