Review: Resistance Exercises for Running Improvement
Are you a runner? Make sure you include some strength training!
One way to improve endurance performance is to improve running economy. Running economy is how much oxygen is used at a given speed. Less oxygen used = better performance overall.
Heavy loading strength training (85% maximum effort), moderate loading (40-70% of maximum effort), plyometrics and explosive strength training (or a combination of these) can improve running economy up to 8% without affecting body mass.
