Neuromuscular Adaptations to Same Versus Separate Muscle-Group Concurrent Aerobic and Strength Training in Recreationally Active Males and Females.

Combining aerobic and strength training may attenuate neuromuscular adaptations, particularly when both target the same muscle group. This study assessed whether separating the training modalities by muscle groups mitigates this interference. Ninety-six participants (56 males and 40 females) completed a 12-week intervention, divided into three groups: (1) LHLS (lower-body high-intensity interval (HIIT) and strength training), (2) LHUS (lower-body HIIT and upper-body strength training), and (3) LSUS (lower- and upper-body strength training).
