Summary: This study compared the physiological, perceptual, and performance responses to increased training load between high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and low-intensity training (LIT). The results showed that both HIIT and LIT blocks improved endurance performance in a short period, but HIIT training may lead to increased muscle soreness and decreased parasympathetic activity.

Summary: Periodization of sequential altitude training over a season can lead to significant improvements in performance and physiological measures for elite swimmers. Conducting 3-4 altitude training camps lasting 21-24 days each season, with the last camp ending 20-32 days before major competitions, can enhance international swimming performance, hematological parameters, and anthropometric characteristics.

Summary: The combination of high-volume low-intensity training and low-volume high-intensity interval training is necessary to optimize endurance training adaptations in middle- and long-distance runners. Monitoring training using multiple objective and subjective quantification methods can help coaches and researchers make better decisions.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effects of higher-load-to-lower-load and lower-load-to-higher-load training schemes on muscular strength and physical performance in postmenopausal women. The results showed that both training schemes produced similar improvements in muscular strength and physical performance, but the higher-load training was more effective in increasing specific muscle strength and sit-to-stand power.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of high-repetition strength training on performance in competitive endurance athletes through a systematic review and meta-analysis. The results showed that there was no significant difference in performance between high-repetition strength training and control or low-repetition strength training groups. However, these findings may be limited by the characteristics of the study participants and the duration of the interventions.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different training intensity distributions on running performance and physiological adaptations in endurance athletes. The results showed that an 8-week training periodization was effective in improving performance in well-trained endurance runners. Additionally, incorporating plyometric training into the training program appeared to maximize running performance improvements.

Summary: This study compared the effects of load-matched block periodization and traditional periodization on trained cyclists. The results showed no difference in performance and muscular adaptations between the two training methods, but differences were found in hematological and muscle capillary adaptations.

Summary: Individualized endurance training appears to be more effective in improving endurance performance compared to predefined training programs. Individualized training increases the likelihood of high responders and decreases the occurrence of low responders to endurance training.

Summary: This study aimed to verify the effects of different training methods on recreational endurance athletes. The study found that concurrent training can effectively improve body composition and performance variables, and using the ATR periodization system can enhance performance parameters, especially when performing concurrent training programs.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of endurance stimuli intensity on the adaptation in strength and endurance following concurrent training, as well as the impact of training status on the acute molecular response to concurrent exercise. The results indicate that the intensity of endurance activity does not affect performance outcomes after concurrent training, and training status has no effect on the molecular responses assessed.

Summary: The study found that strength endurance training performed better in ventral Bourban and T-test performances, while power training performed better in 1RM leg press, jump, sprint, and speed performances. The abstract also emphasizes the principle of training specificity and recommends the implementation of SET and PT in young female elite soccer players according to the respective training periods.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate whether the effects of caffeine intake on resistance exercise and jumping performance are influenced by training status. The results showed that caffeine ingestion improved muscular strength, endurance, and jump height, with similar magnitudes observed in resistance-trained and recreationally active men.

Summary: This study found that functional training with free weights is safe and effective for high-functioning adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) to improve their physical performance and cardiovascular health. High-intensity resistance training combined with anaerobic and aerobic exercise should be included in standard therapy for high-functioning adolescents with CP.
