Zusammenfassung: | Purpose
This study evaluated the concurrent training (CT) effect in combination with either progressive energy restriction (PER) or severe energy restriction (SER) on body composition and strength-related variables in resistance-trained women.
Methods
Fourteen women (29.5 ± 3.8 years; 23.8 ± 2.8 kg·m
−2
) were randomly assigned to a PER (
n
= 7) or SER (
n
= 7) group. Participants performed an 8-week CT program. Pre- and post-intervention measures of fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and strength-related variables were assessed through 1-repetition maximum (in the squat and bench press) and countermovement jump.
Results
Significant reductions in FM were observed in PER and SER (Δ = − 1.7 ± 0.4 kg;
