Concurrent Training with Different Aerobic Exercises

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of using different intensities and types of aerobic exercise (i. e., cycle ergometer or running) during concurrent training on neuromuscular adaptations. A total of 44 young women were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups: concurrent strength and continuous running training (SCR, n=10), concurrent strength and interval running training (SIR, n=11), concurrent strength and continuous cycle ergometer training (SCE, n=11), or strength training only (STO, n=12). Each group trained twice a week during 11 weeks. The following strength measurements were made on all subjects before and after training period: maximal strength (1RM) in knee extension, bench press and leg press exercises; local muscular endurance (number of repetitions at 70% of 1 RM) in knee extension and bench press exercises; and isometric and isokinetic peak torque of knee extension. There were significant increases in the upper and lower-body 1 RM, isometric and isokinetic peak torque in all training groups (p<0.001), with no differences between groups. The present results suggest that in young women, concurrent training performed twice a week promotes similar neuromuscular adaptations to strength training alone, regardless of the type and the intensity in which the aerobic training is performed.

Adaptações neuromusculares ao treinamento de força e concorrente em homens idosos.

“…Alguns estudos demonstraram que o TA pode reduzir o ganho de força e potência decorrentes do TF quando ambos os tipos de treino são executados simultaneamente (i.e., treinamento concorrente) e esse efeito têm sido denominado de "efeito de interferência" 17,[26][27][28] . Por outro lado, diversos outros estudos observaram ganhos semelhantes na força muscular comparando o TF com o treino concorrente (TC) 19,20,[29][30][31] . Apesar de diversos estudos terem sido realizados investigando indivíduos jovens, poucos investigaram o desempenho da força e capacidade aeróbica do treino concorrente em indivíduos idosos 19,20,29,32,33 .…”

How to simultaneously optimize muscle strength, power, functional capacity, and cardiovascular gains in the elderly: an update

“…This phenomenon may occur due to the negative influence of endurance training performance on strength training-induced neuromuscular adaptations (Dolezal and Potteiger 1998;Kraemer et al 1995). Although several studies have focused on concurrent training in young populations García-Pallares and Izquierdo 2011;Izquierdo-Gabarren et al 2010;Cadore et al 2012c;Silva et al 2012), a limited number of studies have explored the effects of concurrent training on strength and endurance performance in older individuals (Izquierdo et al 2004;Cadore et al 2010Cadore et al , 2012aHolviala et al 2010;Sillampää et al 2008;Karavirta et al 2011). Certain studies have recently examined the influence of volume and intensity manipulation and the effects of the intra-session exercise sequence on concurrent training adaptations (Izquierdo et al 2004(Izquierdo et al , 2005Cadore et al 2010Cadore et al , 2011aCadore et al , 2012a.…”

Será a combinação dos treinamentos intervalado e resistido mais efetiva sobre a aptidão física em adultos? Uma revisão sistemática e metanálise

“…Among the selected studies, four performed interventions in samples with eutrophic nutritional status [20][21][22][23] and five in overweight populations [24][25][26][27][28] [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] and seven cardiorespiratory fitness, specifically VO 2max in kg / ml / min. 20,22,[24][25][26][27][28] .…”

“…20,22,[24][25][26][27][28] . In studies that used interval training, five used the combination of the HIIT protocol with strength training 21,[23][24][25]28 , while four adopted the SIT principles for combined training 20,22,26,27 . Regarding the methodological quality of studies, one was classified as with low methodological quality 20 , six with medium quality 21,23,24,[26][27][28] and two with high quality 22,25 .…”
