Increased Strength and Endurance
A small 2010 study in the journal PLUS One found that muscle protein synthesis greater when subjects used low-intensity, high-volume training and high-load, low-volume training. Again, the study was small — only 15 men — but it was enough to plant the seed that cranking up the volume is a wise idea. Plus, the high-volume training method builds endurance. Whether you’re looking to ball for four quarters, pitch for nine strong innings, or tackle 10-plus miles of a mud run, a combo of high-volume and low-volume training can prep your body properly.
