Summary:
Female distance runners were divided into 2 groups: endurance training
only, and endurance training with strength training added
There was no change in either group in aerobic capacity (VO2max) or body
composition after the 10-week program
Only the endurance plus strength training group improved running economy
(oxygen consumption at a given speed)
Conclusion:
Strength training added to endurance training can improve
running economy, and potentially performance, in female runners.
