Future investigations should include valid strength assessments (i.e. However, it is evident that further research is needed. The present research available supports the addition of strength training in an endurance athlete's programme for improved economy,, muscle power and performance. The results showed that strength training improved time-trial performance, economy, and vMART in competitive endurance athletes. All studies were reviewed using the PEDro scale. Twenty-six studies met the inclusion criteria (athletes had to be trained endurance athletes with ≥6 months endurance training, training ≥6 h per week OR ≥50 mL/min/kg, the strength interventions had to be ≥5 weeks in duration, and control groups used).
The aim of this systematic review was to search the body of scientific literature for original research investigating the effect of strength training on performance indicators in well-trained endurance athletes-specifically economy, and muscle power (vMART).Ī search was performed using the MEDLINE, PubMed, ScienceDirect, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science search engines. One technique to improve neuromuscular efficiency in athletes is through strength training. In addition to cardiovascular function, these key performance indicators are believed to be partly dictated by the neuromuscular system. maximal anaerobic running velocity vMART), are now thought to be the best performance predictors in elite endurance athletes. Economy, velocity/power at maximal oxygen uptake () and endurance-specific muscle power tests (i.e.
