Effects of six weeks outdoor versus treadmill running on physical fitness and body composition in recreationally active young males: a pilot study

"This novel study addresses the physiological changes associated with exercise training between treadmill vs outdoor running on fitness and body composition in recreational active males. The findings lend support to advantages to outdoor running however benefits were also observed in indoor treadmill running. The training modes have been contentious as to which yielded superior results, this study adds insight into specific gains associated with and between each mode."
