And exactly like a real sprint (running very fast) a period of resting is necessary after such an effort, usually longer than the execution time spent.

Yes! I couldn't agree more. I'm happy to sprint. If do it much rather than a marathon. But only if I get a break after it. Otherwise it's a marathon that you start out running like it was a sprint and fail.
