Acute neuromuscular and endocrine responses and recovery to single-session combined endurance and strength loadings:“Order effect” in untrained young men. J Strength Cond Res 27 (2): 421–433, 2013—The purpose of this study was to investigate acute neuromuscular and endocrine responses and recovery to a single session of combined endurance and strength loading using 2 loading orders. Forty-two men were demographically matched to perform a single session of combined endurance+ strength (E+ S) or strength+ endurance (S+ E) loading. The strength loading was conducted on a leg press and included sets of power, maximal strength, and hypertrophic loads with an overall duration of 30 minutes. The endurance loading was conducted on a bike ergometer and performed by continuous …
