Abstract in brief

  • This study explored how combining strength training (ST) with endurance training affects long-distance triathletes, finding that integrating ST improves cycling and running efficiency during a simulated triathlon.
  • Triathletes who added progressive strength training showed significant gains in maximal strength, and their cycling and running economy improved over time, while those doing only endurance training did not see these benefits.
  • The results suggest that incorporating strength training into training routines can enhance performance in triathletes by improving exercise economy without causing weight gain.]

El propósito de este estudio fue investigar los resultados fisiológicos en los triatletas LD cuando se completó el entrenamiento de fuerza (ST) al mismo tiempo que el entrenamiento de resistencia. https://t.co/AxmYdFIwFn @umh1617
