Matt and Billy are back to discuss concurrent training. What is concurrent training? Who should use it and why? All of this and more will be covered right here!
:35 Simple defintion of concurrent training: engaging in two types of training at the same time: i.e. resistance or strength training and endurance training.
2:47 How to training for endurance. In this case, we are talking about 60 minutes or more of activity.
7:56 Endurance is primary, strength is auxiliary
10:20 Common misconception: strength training will make me too big and I will be too slow.
13:03 Concurrent training is compared to strength program only and then endurance program only.
17:50 When to train for strength, when to train for endurance and when to train concurrently. It all depends on you, your sport and your goals.
20:45 Non- functional over reaching. You are probably training TOO HARD!
26:11 Female training study: endurance athletes vs. non trained female and the outcome that occured when both groups began a strength program.
34:30 Conclusion of female training study
39:25 Load and rep range are the main factors in programming- speed of the bar vs. slow, heavy movments
41:25 Is the vertical jump important for the distance runner? The answer may surprise you!
44:38 No impaired increase in muscle strength and hypertrophy with females while using concurrent training
46:00 Final thoughts
