Effect of heavy strength training on thigh muscle cross-sectional area performance determinants and performance in well-trained cyclists. ] and mean power output in the 40-min all-out trial were improved in E+S (p<0.05). For E, only performance in the 40-min all-out trial tended to improve (p=0.057).The two groups showed similar increases in VO 2max (p<0.05). In conclusion, adding strength training to usual endurance training improved determinants of cycling performance as well as performance in well-trained cyclists. Of particular note is that the added strength training increased thigh muscle CSA without causing an increase in body mass.

Compliance was highest in SRT but generally decreased over time. SRT and APE caused increased shoulder elevation strength, were more effective than REF to decrease neck pain among those with symptoms at baseline, and prevent development of shoulder pain in those without symptoms at baseline.
