Summary

This study aims to find out if performing combined strength and endurance exercise in the same program (called concurrent training-CT) leads to similar long-term improvements in neuromuscular function as doing each type of exercise separately. The main questions it seeks to answer are:

Does performing CT result in similar improvements in strength and power as doing just strength training? Does performing CT result in similar improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness as doing just endurance training? Are neuromuscular adaptations similar between CT and just strength training? Researchers will compare the results between three groups: the CT group, the endurance training group (E), and the strength training group (S) to answer these questions.

Conditions

  • Exercise

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Endurance Exercise

30 minutes of running at an intensity corresponding to the heavy-domain (between the first and second ventilatory thresholds)

BEHAVIORAL

Strength Exercise

Combination of strength and power exercises Weeks 1-5 focus on building maximal strength Weeks 6-11 focus on maintaining maximal strength and improve muscle power

BEHAVIORAL

Concurrent Exercise

Combining both strength and endurance training programs, with strength preceding endurance, incorporating a 20-min rest period between each modality
