Purpose: To assess the net effects of strength training on middle-and long-distance
performance through a meta-analysis of the available literature. Methods: Three databases …

Background Middle-and long-distance running performance is constrained by several
important aerobic and anaerobic parameters. The efficacy of strength training (ST) for …

Objective This study aims to meta-analyze the impact of high-intensity functional training on
athletes' physical fitness and sport-specific performance. Methods A systematic search was …

The use of strength training designed to increase underlying strength and power qualities in
elite athletes in an attempt to improve athletic performance is commonplace. Although the …

There is evidence that functional training is beneficial for the overall physical fitness of
athletes. However, there is a lack of a systematic review focused on the effects of functional …

training on performance indicators in distance runners. J Strength Cond Res 31 (1): 9–23 …

Background Although lower-body strength is correlated with sprint performance, whether
increases in lower-body strength transfer positively to sprint performance remain unclear …

Background The role of trunk muscle training (TMT) for physical fitness (eg, muscle power)
