In this review we integrate the scientific literature and results-proven practice and outline a
novel framework for understanding the training and development of elite long-distance …

Background Middle-and long-distance running performance is constrained by several
important aerobic and anaerobic parameters. The efficacy of strength training (ST) for …

Background There is a growing body of experimental evidence examining the effects of
plyometric jump training (PJT) on physical fitness attributes in basketball players; however …

Despite an increasing amount of research devoted to middle-distance training (herein the
800 and 1500 m events), information regarding the training methodologies of world-class …

Combining training of muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness within a training cycle
could increase athletic performance more than single-mode training. However, the …

The economy of running has traditionally been quantified from the mass-specific oxygen
uptake; however, because fuel substrate usage varies with exercise intensity, it is more …

Purpose: To assess the net effects of strength training on middle-and long-distance
performance through a meta-analysis of the available literature. Methods: Three databases …

Concurrent resistance and aerobic training (CT) has been applied to optimize both strength
and aerobic performance. However, it should be carefully prescribed, as there are some …

Repetitive, monotonic, and effortful voluntary muscle contractions performed for just a few
weeks, ie, resistance training, can substantially increase maximal voluntary force in the …

Background Plyometric training can be performed through many types of exercises involving
the stretch-shortening cycle in lower limbs. In the last decades, a high number of studies …
