2 ABSTRACT This study investigated changes in physical fitness, body composition and blood lipid profile following 24 weeks of three volume-equated concurrent strength (S) and endurance (E) training protocols. Physically active, healthy male and female participants (18-40 yrs) performed S and E sessions on different days (DD, men n=21, women n=18) or in the same session with E preceding S (ES, men n=16, women n=15) or vice versa (SE men n=18, women n=14). The training volume was matched in all groups. Maximal leg press strength (1RM) and endurance performance (VO2max during cycling), body composition (DXA) and blood lipids were measured. 1RM and VO2max increased in all groups in men (12-17% p
