Abstract Synopsis

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined how different strength training methods (such as high load, submaximal load, plyometric, and combined training) impact key performance factors like VOmax, vVOmax, MMSS, and sprint capacity in middle- and long-distance runners, aiming to clarify their effects on improving running performance.
  • The researchers conducted extensive searches across multiple databases up to November 2022 to identify studies involving endurance runners performing strength training for at least three weeks, with performance outcomes measured before and after the interventions; they included both randomized and nonrandomized controlled trials and assessed the certainty of evidence with the GRADE system.
  • The review highlights that strength training is generally effective for enhancing endurance running performance, but the specific impacts of different training methods on performance determinants require further clarification and comparison based on the analyzed evidence.]
