Physical work capacity is important in several occupations and can even be a determining factor for example for first responders or military personnel. However, in a busy daily schedule, time to develop and maintain adequate strength and endurance is often limited. Therefore, development of efficient training regimes where the invested time is minimal and outcome is maximal is of high importance. One possibly efficient strategy is to implement short duration training sessions (≤15 min) of both strength and endurance that can be completed in breaks during the day.
The main aim of the present thesis was to investigate the difference in training outcome from micro-training (15 min sessions) compared to a volume and intensity matched classical military physical training regime (60 min sessions) in Danish Armed Forces conscripts during a basic military training program. A secondary aim was to explore individual adaptations to training related to initial training status in a large group. More precisely the following hypotheses were investigated:
