The authors thank all the members of the Neurocognitive Kinesiology (NCK) Laboratory and Beckman Institute of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who assisted in participant recruitment and data collection. They also thank the University YMCA for the provision of the space used to carry out the intervention. Implementation of the intervention was made possible by fitness trainers and staff: Leya Allind, Jon Bartolotta, Megan Bending, Angela Caselli, Annmarie Chizewski, Stanley Dayan, Brittany DiNello, Rachel Eng, Chris Eurich, Eric Ferrell, Jeremy Ha, Grace Harmon, Dana Jorgenson, Jessica Lanis, Courtney Lepcin, Jon North, David Pluta, Nick Rahimi, Linsey Rock, Kathryn Rougeau, Shengzhang Su, and Alif Tisha. Graded exercise testing was performed by NCK Laboratory Staff: Jad Bahhur, Joe Batherson, Oliver Beirne, Travis Hill, Chris Komisarz, Derrick Mathy, Deborah Romero, Florencia Romero, Daniel Shlyak, Jack Skelton, and Lindsey Tucker. Finally, they thank all the participants who chose to spend their time volunteering for this research. The authors have no conflicts of interest to report.

N2 - Effectiveness of a 16-week high-intensity cardioresistance training program in adults. J Strength Cond Res 31(9): 2528-2541, 2017 - The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a novel, 16-week high-intensity cardioresistance training (HICRT) program on measures of aerobic fitness, agility, aerobic power, muscular endurance, lower-body explosive power, and self-reported activity level. The intervention group (N = 129; 63 f, 24.65 ± 5.55 years) had a baseline Vo 2 max of 39.83 ± 9.13. These individuals participated in 26, 70-minute exercise sessions, and 4 fitness testing sessions. Participants were matched with a nonexercise control group, paired by sex, age, and baseline Vo 2 max. Matched controls (N = 129, 63 f, 24.26 ± 5.59 years) had a baseline Vo 2 max of 39.86 ± 8.59 and completed preintervention and postintervention Vo 2 max testing only. The results demonstrate that participants in the fitness intervention group significantly increased their Vo 2 max (2.72 ± 0.31, M diff ± SE; p < 0.001) and reported being more physically active (0.42 ± 0.11, M diff ± SE; p < 0.001) after the intervention. The matched control group showed no significant pre-post intervention changes. Participants in the fitness intervention showed a significant improvement in 3 of 5 components of the fitness field tests. Specifically, significant improvements were observed for the 1-minute rower (5.32 ± 0.505, M diff ± SE; p < 0.001), 1-minute push-up (8.168 ± 0.709, M diff ± SE; p < 0.001), and 1.5-mile run tests (1.79 ± 0.169, M diff ± SE; p < 0.001). No significant improvements were observed for the shuttle run (p = 0.173) or standing long jump (p = 0.137). These findings demonstrate the efficacy of a novel, HICRT intervention across multiple dimensions of fitness for young- and middle-aged adults. High-intensity cardioresistance training affords flexibility for tailoring to meet desired health and fitness outcomes and makes perceivably daunting high-intensity functional training and multimodal sports training more accessible to general, traditionally nonathletic, populations.
