STRENGTH TRAINING CAN BE COMPROMISED BY WARM-UP
Skip the warm-up run to preserve optimal strength in a weights session
WEIGHT training carried out after a run could be compromised according to findings published in this month’s Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research. Male athletes were assessed during strength sessions that were completed after four different aerobic pre-workouts including an easy 45-minute run, a steady-20 minute run, 5 x 3 minute intervals or 20 minutes steady running up a gradient of 6-9%.
