tbf, sprints are mostly anaerobic, so can still be improved

even if athletes have very high aerobic capacity. . Anaerobic endurance can be lost and gained very, very quickly, compared with aerobic. Doing extra sprint training could have an affect within a few days, and certainly within a couple of weeks.

It's not really got much to do with baseline fitness levels, because optimizing sprinting is about peaking and recovery. You can't maintain top sprinting performance for as long as aerobic performance.

So, if Idah is going to get a few appearances in the next weeks, before going back to bench warming, then it might not actually be a terrible idea for him to train sprinting and try to reach a peak in his anaerobic system for a few weeks.

It's what a lot of top runners and cyclists do in the weeks before big events. Train more for short, explosive efforts, that would leave you burnt out if you did them year round.
