- Abstract:
- The purpose of this study was to compare two sequences of exercise order in a concurrent (CC) resistance and endurance training program on lower extremity strength, VO{esc}b2{esc}speak and 3 kilometer (3Km) run performance in recreationally active college females. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups: C, a control group (n=7) which did not exercise; ER (n=10) performed endurance prior to resistance exercise; RE (n=11) performed resistance prior to endurance exercise. All groups trained 3 days per week for 8 weeks. Resistance exercise consisted of 3-5 sets of box squat performed at intensities greater than 75% 1-RM. Endurance training involved continuous running and interval training at intensities greater than 75% age-predicted heart rate max. Dependent variables measured at 0 weeks (T1), after 4 weeks (T2), and after eight weeks (T3) were one-repetition maximum (1-RM) box squat, repetitions performed with 80% pretraining 1-RM (80%R), and 3Km time, while treadmill VO{esc}b2{esc}speak was measured T1 and T3. At T3, 1-RM significantly (p<0.05) improved 32.6{plusmn}12.1% for ER and 31.1{plusmn}9.4% for RE vs C. ER and RE significantly (p<0.05) improved 57.6% and 91.4%, respectively for 80%R vs C. Improvement in 3Km run time was significantly greater (p<0.05) for ER vs C. ER improved VO 2peak 9.7% and was significantly greater (p<0.05) than RE. There were no significant differences between the training groups for body weight and body fat% changes. These results suggest that for untrained females engaged in CC training the order of exercise performed has little effect on lower extremity strength measures but RE may hinder improvements in VO{esc}b2{esc}speak.
