ABSTRACT
Shaw, BS, Shaw, I, and Brown, GA. Comparison of resistance
and concurrent resistance and endurance training regimes in
the development of strength. J Strength Cond Res 23(9):
2507–2514, 2009—Resistance and endurance training are
often performed concurrently in most exercise programs and in
rehabilitative settings in an attempt to acquire gains in more
than 1 physiologic system. However, it has been proposed that
by simultaneously performing these 2 modes of exercise
training, the strength gains achieved by resistance training
alone may be impaired. Thus, the aim of this study was to
compare the effects of 16 weeks of resistance training and
concurrent resistance and endurance training on muscular
strength development in 38 sedentary, apparently healthy
males (25 yr 6 8 mo). Subjects were age-matched and
randomly assigned to either a control (Con) group (n = 12),
resistance training (Res) group (n = 13), or concurrent
resistance and endurance training (Com) group (n = 13). After
16 weeks, no changes were found in the strength of the subjects
in the Con group. Resistance training and concurrent resistance
and endurance training significantly (p # 0.05) improved
strength in all of the 8 prescribed exercises. The data also
indicated that 16 weeks of concurrent resistance training and
endurance training was as effective in eliciting improvements in
strength as resistance training alone in previously sedentary
males. As such, concurrent resistance and endurance training
does not impede muscular strength gains and can be prescribed
simultaneously for the development of strength in sedentary,
apparently healthy males and thus may invoke all the physiologic
adaptations of resistance and endurance training at once.
