Effect of complex training on lower limb strength and running economy in adolescent distance runners
Complex training appears to be more effective than traditional resistance training for improving both running economy and power-related performance measures in adolescent distance runners. The combination of heavy resistance and plyometric exercises may provide superior neuromuscular adaptations that enhance both strength and running efficiency.
