Schumann M, Feuerbacher JF, Sünkeler M, Freitag N, Rønnestad BR, Doma K, Lundberg TR · 2022 · Sports Medicine 52(3):601-612

REZA evidence rating B: Reasonable confidence

Methodology

Updated systematic review with meta-analysis

Findings

Cardio training alongside strength training doesn't have to get in the way of muscle growth and strength gains, provided the setup is right.

Practical conclusion for REZA

Anyone who wants to run or cycle alongside strength training doesn't need to stop. It gets planned in rather than discouraged.
