Influence of resistance training on cardiorespiratory endurance and muscle power and strength in young athletes

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of additional resistance training on cardiorespiratory endurance in young (15.8 ± 0.8 yrs) male basketball players. Experimental group subjects (n=23) trained twice per week for 12 weeks using a variety of general free-weight and machine exercises designed for strength acquisition, beside ongoing regular basketball training program. Control group subject (n=23) participated only in basketball training program. Oxygen uptake (VO(2max)) and related gas exchange measures were determined continuously during maximal exercise test using an automated cardiopulmonary exercise system. Muscle power of the extensors and flexors was measured by a specific computerized tensiometer. Results from the experimental group (VO(2max) 51.6 ± 5.7 ml.min(-1).kg(-1) pre vs. 50.9 ± 5.4 ml.min(-1).kg(-1) post resistance training) showed no change (p>0.05) in cardiorespiratory endurance, while muscle strength and power of main muscle groups increased significantly. These data demonstrate no negative cardiorespiratory performance effects on adding resistance training to ongoing regular training program in young athletes.

Classification of selected cardiopulmonary variables of elite athletes of different age, gender, and disciplines during incremental exercise testing

“…Younger soccer players (age: 13.5 ± 0.4 years) achieve VO 2peak values in a range of 55–59 ml kg −1 min −1 (Sperlich et al 2011a ). Lower VO 2peak values have been reported for volleyball (46.9–51.1 ml kg −1 min −1 ; 17.5 ± 0.5 years) (Duncan et al 2006 ) and basketball (51.6 ± 5.7 ml kg −1 min −1 , age: 15.8 ± 0.8 years and 50.3 ± 4.0 ml kg −1 min −1 , 16.7 ± 1.2 years) players (Ignjatovic et al 2011 ; Castagna et al 2009 ).…”

Short-term effects of cardiorespiratory parameters on 2 resistance training programs prescribing exercise intensity through the RPE

“…Aunque hubo una elevación de la frecuencia cardíaca durante el entrenamiento de fuerza, el VO 2máx no se incrementó, posiblemente porque el VO 2 para este tipo de ejercicio no era suficientemente alto (45% VO 2máx ) para incrementar el fitness cardiovascular. Conclusiones similares se obtuvieron en un reciente estudio de jóvenes jugadores de baloncesto (~16 años), en el que, después de realizar un entrenamiento de fuerza con pesos libres y máqui-nas de musculación añadido a su entrenamiento de baloncesto regular durante 12 semanas, mantuvieron el VO 2máx (Ignjatovic, Radovanovic, Stankovic, Marković, & Kocic, 2011).…”
