This study found that individuals with greater strength and lower endurance benefited most from circuit training for loaded marches. Resistance training showed a tendency towards the opposite effect, offering insights into personalized load carriage training.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Military Performance

Background:

  • Loaded marching is a critical task in military operations.
  • Optimizing training for loaded marching requires understanding individual responses.
  • Previous research has not provided objective data for personalized training prescription.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate training diagnosis for a 3.2-km loaded march with a 25 kg load.
  • To compare the effectiveness of endurance-based circuit training versus resistance training.
  • To identify pre-training characteristics that predict response to different training modalities.

Main Methods:

  • 50 men trained for 10 weeks using either circuit training or resistance training.
  • Loaded marches were assessed before and after the training intervention.

  • Participants were categorized into 'good' and 'poor' responders based on march improvement.

    • Main Results:

    • Circuit training responders exhibited significant pre-training differences in shuttle run to isometric strength ratios.
    • Stronger individuals with lower endurance responded better to circuit training.
    • Resistance training showed a trend towards benefiting individuals with higher endurance and lower strength.

    Conclusions:

    • Objective data are presented for the first time to guide individualized training for load carriage.
    • Pre-training physical characteristics can predict response to specific training programs for loaded marching.
    • Personalized training prescription can enhance performance in loaded marching scenarios.
