“…This was concomitant with an average PTS increase of 4.3% (ranging from a 3.8% decrease to a 12.5% increase) and aVO 2 max increase of 3.8% (ranging from a 10.6% decrease to a 14.8% increase). This wide range (Johnston et al, 1997) and 0-4% using explosive training (Pellegrino et al, 2016;Meszler et al, 2019), which is in line with the current findings. Nevertheless, several studies reported no significant increase in RE following concurrent endurance and strength training in recreational athletes despite improvements in muscle strength (Ferrauti et al, 2010;Mikkola et al, 2011;Taipale et al, 2013;Damasceno et al, 2015).…”

“…This wide range of individual responses highlights the importance of taking into account individual responses and not only the training effect on a group level (see Figure 2 ). It has been reported that average group level increases in RE ranged from 0 to 4.7% using heavy weight strength training ( Johnston et al, 1997 ) and 0–4% using explosive training ( Pellegrino et al, 2016 ; Meszler et al, 2019 ), which is in line with the current findings. Nevertheless, several studies reported no significant increase in RE following concurrent endurance and strength training in recreational athletes despite improvements in muscle strength ( Ferrauti et al, 2010 ; Mikkola et al, 2011 ; Taipale et al, 2013 ; Damasceno et al, 2015 ).…”

“…Among them, concurrent training, i.e., the use of strength training such as plyometric training (PLT) or dynamic weight training (DWT) in parallel with endurance running training, has been shown to further benefit RE ( Barnes and Kilding, 2014 ). For instance, several studies that used this concurrent training method reported an improvement of RE ranging from 0 to 4.7% ( Pellegrino et al, 2016 ; Meszler et al, 2019 ). However, the exact mechanisms leading to an improvement of RE after PLT or DWT remained unclear ( Trowell et al, 2020 ).…”

This study aimed to determine if concurrent endurance and strength training that matches the global running pattern would be more effective in increasing running economy (RE) than non-matched training. The global running pattern of 37 recreational runners was determined using the Volodalen® method as being aerial (AER) or terrestrial (TER). Strength training consisted of endurance running training and either plyometric (PLY) or dynamic weight training (DWT). Runners were randomly assigned to a matched (n = 18; DWT for TER, PLY for AER) or non-matched (n = 19; DWT for AER, PLY for TER) 8 weeks concurrent training program. RE, maximal oxygen uptake V̇O2max) and peak treadmill speed at V̇O2max (PTS) were measured before and after the training intervention. None of the tested performance related variables depicted a significant group effect or interaction effect between training and grouping (p ≥ 0.436). However, a significant increase in RE, V̇O2max, and PTS (p ≤ 0.003) was found after the training intervention. No difference in number of responders between matched and non-matched groups was observed for any of the performance related variables (p ≥ 0.248). In recreational runners, prescribing PLT or DWT according to the global running pattern of individuals, in addition to endurance training, did not lead to greater improvements in RE.

To analyze the influence of health-related fitness on the condition of second mature aged women. Participants: 65 women divided into two groups. Group 1–40 women, (43.33 ± 0.93) years old and group 2–25 women (44.40 ± 0.93) years old. The participants trained for 8 months, three times a week for 1 h. Group 1 trained dance aerobics (Monday), strength fitness (Wednesday) and stretching (Friday). Group 2 trained only stretching. The body length and mass, handgrip strength test, vital capacity, blood pressure, heart rate, Stange and Genchi tests, and motion amplitude in joints were evaluated before and after the program. The significance of the differences between the groups was evaluated by Student’s criterion (t) and Rosenbaum (Q). The different intensity of the health-related effect was confirmed at the end of the program. Physiometric indicators significantly increased in group 1. The complex physical activity led to a decrease in heart rate. The results of the Stange and Genchi tests significantly increased. Goniometric indicators of group 2 increased. The comparative analysis of the participants indicators confirms the generalized and higher health-related effect of the complex fitness program. The effect of such a program showed an increase of the adaptive potential, a significant increase in the functional capabilities of women, and the optimization of the studied indicators. With the same time expenditure for health-related fitness, the complex program has a more multifaceted effect in comparison with stretching.

Background and Study Aim. Purpose of the research: analysis of the influence of health-improving fitness classes of various orientations on the degree of fat deposition in women of the second mature age. Material and Methods. Participants: group 1 – 40 women, (43.33 ± 0.93) years, group 2 – 25 women, (44.40 ± 0.93) years. The participants trained for 8 months, three times a week for 1 hour. Group 1 – classes in dance aerobics (Monday), strength fitness (Wednesday) and stretching (Friday). Group 2 – stretching only. Before the start and after the end of the program, the body weight and length were determined, the degree of fat deposition using a calipermeter at 17 points, the body mass index was calculated. Results. In group 1, there was a significant decrease in body weight, BMI, a decrease in the thickness of skin and fat folds at all points. In group 2, a significant decrease in body weight, BMI, a decrease in the thickness of folds at 13 points in 60-96% of participants was established. At the end of the study, group 1 had a smaller size of the folds of the thighs and left forearm compared to group 2. Regular exercise leads to a decrease in body weight BMI, a decrease in body fat. Complex classes have a more pronounced effect compared to stretching. This type of training is more effective in terms of the dynamics of the criteria used and the number of participants with the established changes. The sessions provided an increase in the number of persons with a normal BMI and a decrease in the number of obese participants. Conclusions. The applied indicators and methods can be recommended for use in health monitoring in health fitness.
