Does Maximum Strength Predict Rowing Performance in Elite Female Rowers?

Purpose: This study aimed to identify dynamic free-weight exercises for strength training and testing that are strong determinants of specific rowing ergometer performance measures in elite female rowers.

Methods: A cross-sectional study examined the association between 1-repetition-maximum (1RM) power clean (PC1RM), 1RM bench row (BR1RM), 1RM back squat (SQ1RM), 1RM bench press (BP1RM), and 1RM deadlift (DL1RM) with peak stroke power (PSP) and 2000-m (P2000m) and 5000-m time-trial average power (P5000m) in 17 heavyweight elite female rowers.

Results: Significant correlations were found between SQ1RM, DL1RM, and PC1RM with all rowing performance measures (r = .

The Order of Concurrent Training Affects Acute Immunological Stress Responses and Measures of Muscular Fitness in Female Youth Judo Athletes.

This study aimed to examine the acute effects of concurrent muscle strength and sport-specific endurance exercise order on immunological stress responses, metabolic response, muscular-fitness, and rating-of-perceived-exertion (RPE) in highly trained youth female judo athletes. Thirteen female participants randomly performed two concurrent training (CT) sessions; strength-endurance and endurance-strength. Immune response, metabolic response, muscular fitness (i.

Acute Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Muscle Strength and Power in Trained Male Individuals: A Systematic Review with Meta-analysis.

Background: Concurrent training can be an effective and time-efficient method to improve both muscle strength and aerobic capacity. A major challenge with concurrent training is how to adequately combine and sequence strength exercise and aerobic exercise to avoid interference effects. This is particularly relevant for athletes.
