摘要

Purpose

This study explored neuromuscular adaptations following 11 weeks of concurrent training (CT) compared to resistance-only (R) and endurance-only (E) in trained men.

Methods

Thirty participants were randomized into three groups (E, R, CT), training three times per week. Neuromuscular assessments involved plantar-flexion maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), rate of torque development (RTD), evoked potentials (H reflex and V wave) and contractile properties at baseline, mid-training (week 5), and post-training. Resistance training for R and CT groups involved two phases: weeks 1–5 (maximal strength development) and weeks 6–11 (explosive/reactive strength and muscle power development). Endurance training for the E and CT groups involved 30-min of running on the heavy-intensity domain.

Results

MVIC increased similarly in the R and CT groups. The R group significantly improved peak and sequential RTD, soleus electromyographic (EMG) activity, V wave and contractile properties. Conversely, the CT group exhibited an interference effect during the first phase with no improvements in RTD or neuromuscular parameters. During the second phase, the CT group exhibited significant enhancements in sequential RTD, soleus EMG activity, H- and V-wave amplitude. The improvements in the E group were limited to H-reflex excitability.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that the magnitude of CT interference is modulated by the focus of resistance training (maximal vs explosive strength) being performed. However, it is relevant to note that contractile impairments seem to persist, likely due to endurance training in the heavy-intensity domain.
