Tactical athletes are a good example, you need cardio and strength simultaneously. I’m a wildland firefighter I find doing two days/workouts of the week (with two days rest) doing strength training and the other three days run at least three to four miles at a recovery past (8 min to 9 min mile pace) and every once in awhile run a long easy pace 6-8 miles.
So, in short - split the work outs and don't go to failure. I'm a cyclist so my interest is the other way around. Also I have heard the upper vs lower split is less of an issue. The challenge for me then is making sure my lower weight training is nice clean, well rested pockets between my cycling.
Great video
When you say power do you include the ability of explosive strength output in there aswell? Wouldn't it then be detremental for let's say combat athletes to do intense cardio training when they sacrifice much of their explosiveness (power when punching/kicking)?
Or are you talking purely about maximum capacity for strength?
I believe they are referring to maximal anaerobic power output, i.e. sprinting, jumping, etc., as this is what the research shows to be impacted most by concurrent training.
In general, combat sports training is cardio intensive in and of itself. While the individual punches or kicks may be anaerobic on a local muscular level, since they are completed repetitively over a relatively long period of time, the body relies on the cardiovascular system to allow the athlete to continue to perform.
In combat sports, there will always be a trade-off between cardiovascular efficiency and one punch/kick explosive power. That’s why we see explosive one-punch KO artists that fade in the later rounds fighting volume punchers who seem to only improve the longer the fight continues.
What about 5 mile hikes, with 1k elevation gain?
I feel like the same would apply, if you don’t do it everyday and keep it to two to three times a week or less while timing it so it won’t effect your leg day you should be good. Of course you also have to worry about getting in enough protien at that point
