- "Strength training or resistance training involves the performance of physical exercises that are designed to improve strength and endurance."
The study of how to improve physical performance through strength training, aerobic exercise, and other forms of conditioning.
Anatomy and Physiology: The study of the structure and function of the human body, and how it responds to exercise.
Biomechanics: The study of the mechanical principles that govern human movement, and how to optimize movement efficiency and reduce injury risk.
Exercise Physiology: The study of how the body responds to exercise, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems.
Nutrition: The study of how food affects the body, and how to optimize nutrition for performance and health.
Strength Training: The use of resistance exercises to increase muscle strength, power, and endurance.
Cardiovascular Training: The use of exercises that elevate heart rate to improve the cardiovascular system, including aerobic and anaerobic training.
Functional Training: The use of exercises that mimic real-life movement patterns to improve everyday activities and reduce injury risk.
Flexibility and Mobility: The use of stretching and mobility exercises to improve joint range of motion and overall flexibility.
Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation: The use of exercises and techniques to reduce injury risk and rehabilitate existing injuries.
Periodization: The strategic planning of training programs to optimize performance and prevent overtraining.
- "It is often associated with the lifting of weights."
- "It can also incorporate a variety of training techniques such as bodyweight exercises, isometrics, and plyometrics."
- "Training works by progressively increasing the force output of the muscles and uses a variety of exercises and types of equipment."
- "Strength training is primarily an anaerobic activity, although circuit training also is a form of aerobic exercise."
- "Strength training can increase muscle, tendon, and ligament strength as well as bone density, metabolism, and the lactate threshold; improve joint and cardiac function; and reduce the risk of injury in athletes and the elderly."
