Abstract (eng)
The combination of strength and endurance training is known as concurrent training. This literature analysis deals with the different study designs and study results which, from Robert C. Hickson's pioneering work in 1980 to date, have not seemed to be unambiguous. On the one hand, it is assumed that a concurrent training has a positive effect on both strength and endurance performance. On the other hand, there is a variety of studies which confirms that the combination of both types of training leads to a decreased strength and endurance development compared to a separate training of strength and endurance. This phenomenon is known in literature both as "concurrent training effect " and " interference effect". In the framework of this dissertation, it will also be clarified what significance the molecular exercise physiology has and how it has contributed, for example, to new insights on AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) in improving training efficiency. The focus is on the mechanisms that are responsible for the interference and / or inhibitions in the adaptions of strength and / or endurance.
