Interference of Endurance Training on Strength Development and Neuromuscular Adaptations
Sponsor: University of Lisbon
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
Interventions
Endurance Exercise
30 minutes of running at an intensity corresponding to the heavy-domain (between the first and second ventilatory thresholds)
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
Concurrent Exercise
Combining both strength and endurance training programs, with strength preceding endurance, incorporating a 20-min rest period between each modality
