abstract = {Background Concurrent training (CT) is a common method used in health-oriented training programs. However, its design
needs to be explored in order to inform practitioners about the most effective methods to improve different health-related
markers (e.g., maximal fat oxidation [MFO]). Thus, this study aims to determine the order effect of an 8 week CT on the
MFO of recreationally trained young adults.
Methods Twenty participants were allocated in two different groups to perform the CT differing only in the exercise
sequence. The endurance training (ET) consisted of 4 to 6 repetitions of 30 s all-out running sprints with 4 min of active
recovery. The resistance training (RT) consisted of 4 to 6 sets at 60 to 80% of the one-repetition maximum with 5 to 1 repetition
in reserve of back squat and bench press exercises. 15 min of rest were established between exercise modes. Previous
and after the CT program, participants performed a graded exercise test where MFO was determined.
Results There was a significant time effect on MFO (p = 0.044). A moderate increase was observed in both ET + RT (Mean
change: 0.11 [− 0.02 to 0.25] g/min; Effect size: 0.61 [− 0.12 to 1.35]) and RT + ET (Mean change: 0.07 [− 0.01 to 0.16] g/
min; Effect size: 0.62 [− 0.12 to 1.36]) groups. No significant interaction was observed (p = 0.658).
Conclusions The 8 week CT program improved the muscle oxidative capacity of recreationally trained young adults regardless
of the exercise sequence.},
