Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* Evaluate the distinct effects of HIFT, RT, and RT plus HIIT over eight weeks on physical performance and body composition measures in tactical men and women.
* Determine the distress, training load, and physical readiness associated with each of the three distinct training interventions over eight weeks.
Participants will:
* Take part in 10-weeks total of study-related activity.
* Complete four total sessions of pre and post-testing sessions, which include body composition, maximal oxygen uptake testing (VO2max), upper and lower body maximal strength, and lower body power.
* Be randomly assigned to an exercise training intervention.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
High Intensity Functional Training
Training will include power and strength movements, then 30 minutes of metabolic conditioning training comprised of whole-body multi-joint movements.
High-intensity functional training
Participants assigned to this group will undergo 8 weeks of high-intensity functional training.
Traditional Resistance Training
This group will perform traditional resistance training.
Traditional resistance training
Participants assigned to this group will undergo 8 weeks of traditional strength and hypertrophy training.
Concurrent Training
This group will perform traditional resistance training followed by 20 minutes of running, high intensity intervals.
Concurrent training
Participants assigned to this group will undergo 8 weeks of traditional strength and hypertrophy training followed by high-intensity interval aerobic training.
