• Abstract:

  Concurrent training (TC) can be described as a type of training that involves aerobic training (AT) and strength training (TF) in the same session, with the order of execution being able to vary. The objective of this review was to analyze the findings of research that compared CT and TF in gaining strength and muscle hypertrophy. The search for works took place in the Google Scholar database and included the following descriptors: concurrent training; strength training; muscle strength and hypertrophy; Studies published in Portuguese (Brazil) in the period 2000-2021 were included and the sample was divided into at least the TC group and the TF group. A total of 500 titles and abstracts were analyzed and 10 studies were selected in full to compose the present review. From the results found, it can be concluded that both types of training promoted increases in muscular strength, both in adult women and men, and in elderly men and women, with no statistical differences between the modalities. For muscular hypertrophy, there was no difference between the modalities and the order of execution of TA and TF within the TC does not seem to interfere with the gain of lean mass.
