Summary

Concurrent training combining resistance and endurance exercise improved strength and aerobic capacity. However, the specific adaptations may differ from isolated training, highlighting the need for careful parameter selection.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Sports Science
  • Human Performance

Background:

  • Concurrent training, combining resistance and endurance exercise, is popular among athletes.
  • Understanding the specific adaptations to concurrent training is crucial for optimizing performance.
  • Previous research has yielded mixed results regarding the effectiveness of concurrent training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of concurrent resistance and endurance training on strength and aerobic capacity.
  • To compare the adaptations of concurrent training with those of isolated resistance or endurance training.
  • To explore the influence of training order (endurance before resistance) in concurrent training.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-six university students were randomized into resistance (R), endurance (E), or concurrent (C) training groups.

  • All groups trained 3 times per week; the C group performed endurance before resistance exercise.
  • Measurements included 1RM strength, isometric/isokinetic strength, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), and Wingate test performance.

    • Main Results:

    • Both R and C groups showed significant improvements in 1RM strength.
    • The E and C groups exhibited significant increases in VO2peak.
    • The R group experienced a significant reduction in VO2peak.
    • Effect size analysis indicated that concurrent training adaptations were not always identical to those of isolated training.

    Conclusions:

    • Concurrent training can effectively enhance both strength and aerobic capacity.
    • The specific adaptations to concurrent training may differ from isolated training modalities.
    • Careful selection of performance parameters and consideration of statistical power are essential for interpreting concurrent training research.
