Concurrent exercise programs are necessary to achieve minimal physical activity guidelines for cardiorespiratory fitness and musculoskeletal health, however, only 24% of Americans achieve these goals. Among middle-aged adults, lack of time is often cited as the reason they do not meet the guidelines. PURPOSE: Design a program with minimal exercise time (180 minutes/week) and track middle-aged adults' changes in cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal health over 16 weeks of training. METHODS: Sedentary adults between the ages of 30 and 55 were recruited for this pilot study. Participants completed a training program of 4 days per week of structured workouts for …

INTRODUCTION: Upper body strength is one of the most important factors in American football and thus tested frequently. However, strength may come at the cost of mobility as recent studies have reported an inverse relationship between shoulder range of motion (ROM) and strength, with an increase in strength causing a decrease in ROM (Shitara et al., 2022). PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if upper body muscle mass or shoulder mobility are associated with two-repetition max (2-RM) bench press performance in collegiate football players. METHODS: Data from 80 Division I varsity football players (20.5 ± 1.4 …
