Building off of research by Hickson, more recent studies have shown a wide variation of responses in concurrent training, both positive and negative. In one of the first research studies carried out on the effects of concurrent training, Hickson (1980) observed that training both strength and endurance qualities simultaneously had detrimental effects on strength development but did not negatively impact aerobic qualities. This article will shed some light on what cardio and strength training has to offer to each training demographic/niche and how a mixed-typed athlete can best organize their training so they reap in the benefits of both training modalities with little to no interference. The term "meathead" might even be applied to people who lift weights. In the world of endurance sports like running and cycling, strength training can be seen as an unnecessary training method that adds unwanted muscle mass to the frame of an endurance athlete, possibly slowing them down and being detrimental to their performance. Often as a joke among lifting circles, cardio has been stigmatized to "steal your gains", so far to the point that some lifters see it as a badge of honor to be out of shape and possess almost no cardiovascular conditioning in return for being able to lift a massive amount of weights. In the world of bodybuilding and strength sports, cardio is used as an umbrella term for all types of endurance training protocols. MMA, boxing, basketball, soccer, hockey and many other team-based sports fall under this category. Mixed type sports are sports that depend on several different energy systems and different strength and speed properties. Unless an athlete is in a pure-power sport like Olympic Weightlifting, or a pure-endurance sport like long distance cycling a combination of both power-related and endurance-related attributes are required to excel in mixed-type sports. Concurrent Training (CT) is defined as the combination of resistance and endurance training in a periodized program to maximize all aspects of physical performance.
