Simultaneous Strength and Endurance Training

摘要

The purpose of this study is to identify the exact workouts required to simultaneously achieve optimum improvement in I Repetition Maximum (RM) strength, muscle endurance and cardiovascular endurance. The first section identifies the physiological adaptations to each type of training, and using these, the second and third sections identify the optimum application of the acute variables to a periodized training program. The fourth section reviews studies done to date on simultaneous strength and endurance training and identifies how to apply that research to an optimum solution. The fifth section or conclusion presents a combined training program periodizing both strength and cardiovascular workouts using 4-week mesocycles inside a 12-16 week macrocycle. The sixth section identifies the application of this solution on a limited amount of training time.
