Fitness and lean mass increases during combined training independent of loading order.
2014
Although the benefits of combined endurance (E) and strength (S) training for the development of physical fitness and health are well known, scientific examination of the effect of loading order when E and S are combined into the same training session (E+S vs S+E) is rare. This study investigated the effects of moderate frequency E+S versus S+E training on physical fitness, body composition, and blood lipids.Physically active and healthy young men performed E+S (n = 16) or S+E (n = 18) training 2-3 times a week for 24 wk. Endurance (by incremental bike test) and strength (by dynamic leg press) performance as well as body composition (by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry), muscle cross-sectio…
Effects of time-of-day on neuromuscular function in untrained men: Specific responses of high morning performers and high evening performers
2015
It has been clearly established that maximal force varies during the day in human muscles but the exact mechanisms behind the diurnal rhythms are still not fully clarified. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the diurnal rhythms in maximal isometric force production in a large group of participants and also by separating the high morning performance types (n = 8) and the high evening performance types (n = 19) from the neutral types (n = 45) based on their actual maximal isometric force levels. Measurements were performed in the morning (7:26 h ± 63 min) and in the evening (17:57 h ± 74 min) for maximal bilateral isometric leg press force (MVCLP) together with myoelectric activi…
Effects of morning versus evening combined strength and endurance training on physical performance, muscle hypertrophy, and serum hormone concentrati…

This study investigated the effects of 24 weeks of morning versus evening same-session combined strength (S) and endurance (E) training on physical performance, muscle hypertrophy, and resting serum testosterone and cortisol diurnal concentrations. Forty-two young men were matched and assigned to a morning (m) or evening (e) E + S or S + E group (mE + S, n = 9; mS + E, n = 9; eE + S, n = 12; and eS + E, n = 12). Participants were tested for dynamic leg press 1-repetition maximum (1RM) and time to exhaustion (Texh) during an incremental cycle ergometer test both in the morning and evening, cross-sectional area (CSA) of vastus lateralis and diurnal serum testosterone and cortisol concentrati…
Miten yhdistää voima- ja kestävyysharjoittelu urheilijalla, kuntoilijalla, lapsilla tai ikääntyneillä?
2015
Jyväskylän yliopiston liikuntabiologian laitos järjesti 23.–25.9.2015 kansainvälisen symposiumin koskien kestävyys- ja voimaharjoittelun yhdistämistä. Tapahtumaan osallistui yli 350 tutkijaa, valmentajaa, liikunta-alan ammattilaista sekä opiskelijaa yli 30 eri maasta. Kolmipäiväisen symposiumin aikana pohdittiin lukuisissa asiantuntijaesityksissä, miten niin urheilijoiden ja kuntoilijoiden kuin lasten ja ikääntyneiden tulisi yhdistää kestävyys- ja voimaharjoittelu, jotta kummastakin harjoittelumuodosta saataisiin mahdollisimman suuret hyödyt. nonPeerReviewed
