@Alan_Couzens Disagree. Super high intensity intervals have shown lot´s of times to improve all zones. Look this example https://t.co/kLUx3dH4co from @Daniel_Boullosa . Strenght training also has shown the same https://t.co/jPiCuyiywW . But z1-z2 won´t improve your sprint.

What people are saying
Discussions show general agreement on the benefits of strength training for endurance athletes, exemplified by posts supporting heavy weight lifting to improve muscle fibers and performance. Some comments challenge the publication by emphasizing the effectiveness of high-intensity intervals, which adds nuance to the overall tone, indicating a thoughtful engagement with the topic but no overwhelming consensus.
Most discussion participants seem to support or find value in the publication's findings, with some disagreement focusing on alternative methods like high-intensity intervals.
There is a high level of engagement with the topic, indicated by detailed comments and references to specific studies and protocols.
Comments reflect active involvement, especially when referencing specific research or personal perspectives on training methods.
The conversations suggest the article influences practices and opinions about strength training in endurance sports, though the impact remains moderate due to ongoing debates.
Abstract in brief
- The combination of strength and endurance training (concurrent S and E) produces mixed results on cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and performance outcomes, with some studies indicating reduced responses and others showing no impairment or even improvements.
- Limited research has focused on top-level endurance athletes, but available evidence suggests that strength training can improve both short-term (15 min) and long-term (30 min) endurance capacities, especially when using high-volume, heavy-resistance protocols.
- The improvements in endurance performance are likely due to increases in muscle fiber type IIA, greater maximal muscle strength, faster force development, and better neuromuscular function resulting from strength training.

Most liked on X and BlueskyInteresting review about the effects of strength training on endurance capacity in top-level endurance athletes. The basic and high-intensity lifts work great. So why some experts worry about specificity when taking their athletes to the strength room? https://t.co/WXp5Iqw7Pd
Lifting heavy weights can increase Type IIA muscle fibers in cyclists, improving power output for efforts longer than 45 minutes by up to 7%–without adding muscle or gaining weight. https://t.co/zeqSLPj0T6
