What is resistance training? 🏋🏻
Let me introduce you to my favourite hobby! 😍
Strength training, also known as weight training or resistance training, involves the performance of
physical exercises that are designed to improve strength and endurance. 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. For many sports and physical activities, strength training is central or is used as part of
their
training
regimen.
