Effects of concurrent training on the Chinese female elite triathletes.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of an 8-week concurrent strength-endurance training program on the performance of elite female triathletes in China. Twelve female national team members (age 18.41 ± 1.44 years) completed a phased concurrent training program, which included strength (three times per week) and endurance (three times per week) modules. TRIMP was used to monitor training load. The test indicators included 1RM strength, vertical jump (CMJ/SJ), swimming/running performance, and short- and medium-distance triathlon simulation races. The results showed that 1RM squat (+4.23% ± 2.99%, P < 0.001), relative squat strength (+3.96% ± 3.0%, P < 0.001), static jump (SJ, + 3.65% ± 1.42%, P < 0.001), 400-meter swimming (-0.85% ± 0.25%, P < 0.001), 2000-meter running (-0.47% ± 0.48%, P < 0.01), and short-distance triathlon performance (-3.63% ± 0.11%, P < 0.001) significantly improved. Maximum output power increased by 5.52 ± 3.06 W (P < 0.001), but VO2max and medium-distance triathlon performance remained unchanged. Concurrent training effectively enhanced the lower limb explosive power and short-distance performance of elite female triathletes through neuromuscular adaptations, and the intervention effects were sustainable, supporting its integration into periodized training programs.
