Does long distance swimming or biking cause you to loose muscle mass?
From football training knowledge I know that long distance running is proven not only to be useless for football training, but will reduce your muscle mass, and cause you to become weaker. However, I like the idea of longer bike rides and swims to maintain strength, condition my breathing, and just enjoy the outdoors.
If you answer please have legitimate evidence, and don't argue about the running point. I am also training of Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 Football Edition(including its conditioning) and this is just additional work.
Thanks

No, long distance swimming and/or biking will not cause you to lose muscle mass. However, in addition to long distance swimming and biking, my best advice for you this month (and every offseason) is to eat healthy, exercise by doing weight lifting, and either jogging or going for a long run every day. If you do these things, you will get faster, stronger, and into better shape, which will greatly improve your chances of becoming a successful, top notch football player.

Weights, cardio is nice but it will not put mass on, it will make you stronger and you can get ripped but you will be a ripped like 140 pounds. Just throw them weights up, sprinters are buff because they do resistant training and that works out your whole body not because it only burns fat, makes you stronger.
