CHANGES IN MAXIMAL AND EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH, ELECTROMYOGRAPHY, AND MUSCLE THICKNESS OF LOWER AND UPPER EXTREMITIES INDUCED BY COMBINED STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE TRAINING IN SOLDIERS.

The article reports on research conducted to determine the effect combined strength and endurance training had on changes in maximal and explosive strength, electromyography and muscle thickness in the upper and lower extremities of soldiers. Researchers found that basic training with a large amount of endurance-based military training interfered with strength development, and especially, explosive power development of the lower extremities in the strength training group.
