Predictors of individual adaptation to high-volume or high-intensity endurance training in recreational endurance runners

The aim of this study was to investigate factors that can predict individual adaptation to high‐volume or high‐intensity endurance training. After the first 8‐week preparation period, 37 recreational endurance runners were matched into the high‐volume training group (HVT) and high‐intensity training...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to investigate factors that can predict individual adaptation to high‐volume or high‐intensity endurance training. After the first 8‐week preparation period, 37 recreational endurance runners were matched into the high‐volume training group (HVT) and high‐intensity training group (HIT). During the next 8‐week training period, HVT increased their running training volume and HIT increased training intensity. Endurance performance characteristics, heart rate variability (HRV), and serum hormone concentrations were measured before and after the training periods. While HIT improved peak treadmill running speed (RSpeak) 3.1 ± 2.8% (P
