TL;DR: The present results suggest that even the low-frequency concurrent strength and endurance training leads to interference in explosive strength development mediated in part by the limitations of rapid voluntary neural activation of the trained muscles.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify high and low responders for RT-induced changes in muscle size and strength and examine possible effects of age and sex on these responses, and conclude that the muscle sizes and strength responses varied extensively between the subjects regardless of subject's age or sex.

TL;DR: The concurrent explosive strength and endurance training improved anaerobic and selective neuromuscular performance characteristics in young distance runners without decreases in aerobic capacity, although almost 20% of the total training volume was replaced by explosive strength training for eight weeks.

TL;DR: The present concurrent explosive strength and endurance training in endurance athletes produced improvements in explosive force associated with increased rapid activation of trained leg muscles and led to more economical sport-specific performance.

TL;DR: The muscle size and strength responses varied extensively between the subjects regardless of subject’s age and sex, and whether these changes are associated with functional capacity and metabolic health improvements due to RT requires further studies.
