What is concurrent training?
simultaneous strength & endurance training
52
When is concurrent training interference minimized?
are strength untrained (neural learning not ↓ like hypertrophy ?) ▪ do strength and endurance training on different days

Why is power most affected by endurance training?
▪ fast → slow fiber type shift ▪ ↓ in neural activation rate?
