Concurrent Training for Optimal Physiological and Physical Benefits

"The circular training method was used in the resistance training phase. During the aerobic training phase, a series of movements from moderate intensity to vigorous intensity was performed. The step loading periodization principle was taken into account in both resistance training and aerobic exercises.~The RT lasted approximately 20-25 min per session and included two sets of 8-20 repetitions, with a rest interval of 1-2 min. The RT exercises included: squat, barbell bent-over row, overhead press, plank, lateral pull down, triceps push down, barbell curl, leg extension, leg curl, lunge, barbell bench press, crunches etc.~For the aerobic training: Intensity was established between 50-65% and 80-85% of HRmax for both groups (SAG and ASG). Aerobic training includes walking and running periods and was carried out on a 400 m outdoor track. In periodization, especially 1st-4th."
