EngagementModerate engagement

While some comments engage deeply with the content, others express their views more casually, reflecting varied engagement levels.

ImpactHigh impact

The discussions indicate that posters believe the research significantly impacts running training practices and athlete performance.

Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review examines how strength training affects the physiological factors influencing middle and long-distance running performance.
  • Strength training modalities considered included heavy resistance training, explosive resistance training, and plyometric exercises, with results from 24 studies assessed for methodological quality.
  • Findings suggest that while strength training generally improves running economy and time trial performances, other factors like maximal oxygen uptake and body composition showed little change.

Heard news yesterday that our Sports Medicine paper on strength training for distance runners was in the top 5 most downloaded papers in the journal during 2018. Approaching 50k downloads now. Pleasantly surprised with how much attention it has received https://t.co/xm0FAUuNxs

@higdonmarathon @JasonFitz1 Interestingly, the evidence actually suggests the opposite. Strength training is likely to benefit performance (https://t.co/xm0FAUuNxs) but there isn’t much prospective evidence for reduction in injuries. I’m in the camp that believes it probably helps, but evidence is weak

@DerekGriffin86 Most of these questions are answered in our review https://t.co/xm0FAUuNxs There are several studies that replace (rather than add) strength training. Would you want a runner doing more metabolically stressful work (ie hill sprints & intervals) on top of 2-3 hard sessions/week?

@higdonmarathon @higdonmarathon runners can and should lift weights. But lifting heavy weights is most likely better vs light weights. Enhances running performance indicators https://t.co/ohclzmo7py and https://t.co/4kJChIluD9

@Leenewman1977 @UKRunChat @dads_running Hi Lee, not a daft question at all. Hopefully our review of the science https://t.co/xm0FAUuNxs and my book, which describes the practice, will be helpful https://t.co/xSOpoNtayL Can email an e-copy if you want? Not trying to make a sale!

@FastRunning @ultralightmeg @thomascraggs Thanks for referral! For sure, there is a decent body of evidence showing strength training improves performance https://t.co/xm0FAUuNxs. I think it also makes sense that a ‘strength base’ is developed before any sudden increases in running volume or intensity (speed).

@higdonmarathon @JasonFitz1 Interestingly, the evidence actually suggests the opposite. Strength training is likely to benefit performance (https://t.co/xm0FAUuNxs) but there isn’t much prospective evidence for reduction in injuries. I’m in the camp that believes it probably helps, but evidence is weak
