Abstract in brief

This study examined how adding heavy strength training to endurance routines affects cycling and running in well-trained female duathletes, finding that strength training led to improvements in both sports' performance after prolonged submaximal efforts.
The women who incorporated strength exercises saw significant increases in leg strength (1RM in squat) and lean leg mass, which contributed to better performance, such as reduced oxygen consumption and heart rate during cycling, but not during running.
Overall, combining strength training with endurance workouts enhanced the athletes' ability to perform after long periods of submaximal exercise, with particular benefits noted for cycling and some improvements in running.]

@anticulturista estas totalmente equivocado. las carreras se ganan en el último minuto, y las gana quien mas peso acaba levantando. https://t.co/mAYtEaBUaC Evidentemente, para llegar al ultimo con oportunidades tienes que estar 5 horas aeróbicas increíblemente rápidas, pero sin fuerza no ganas.
