Introduction: Endurance athletes are constantly seeking more effective methods to improve their performance. Various approaches and methods can lead to enhancements in performance, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, and have different effects on athletes across various sports. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects and comparative analysis of concurrent endurance and strength training on the aerobic and anaerobic capacity and maximal strength of male adolescent hockey players.
Methodology: For this purpose, 50 professional hockey players from across the country were purposefully selected as the statistical sample. They were then randomly divided into five groups: strength, endurance, strength-endurance, endurance-strength, and control. After conducting a preliminary test, each of the four main groups engaged in their specific training program for 8 weeks. At the end of the 8-week training period, final tests were administered.
Findings: The results of the study indicated a significant difference in aerobic capacity, maximal anaerobic power, and relative maximal strength of the upper and lower body of hockey players after 8 weeks of training in the different groups. Data was analyzed by SPSS software version 19.
Discussion and Conclusion: The implementation of combined strength and endurance training, which has recently attracted considerable attention from many sports researchers and coaches as a new training method, proved to be highly effective. It is presented as an efficient and effective training method for improving and developing aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity, and maximum muscular strength in the sport of indoor hockey.
