Resistance training has been found to be the most effective method for developing strength for muscles & bones and it is recommended by many major health providers for improving health and fitness. It is linked with numerous health benefits.
Resistance training is gathering momentum in healthy living & longevity programs as they help reduce the risk factors associated with coronary heart disease non-insulin-dependent diabetes and colon cancer. Strength training can help to prevent osteoporosis strengthening bones.
Strength training is integral part of weight loss and weight maintenance, It can improve dynamic stability, preserve functional capacity.
It also helps to promote psychological well-being and calmness.
These benefits can be safely obtained when an individualized program is prescribed.
Muscular strength and endurance can be developed by means of static (isometric) or dynamic (isotonic or isokinetic) exercises.
Although each type of training has its advantages and limitations, for healthy adults, dynamic resistance exercises are recommended since they are very similar everyday activities.
Resistance training for the average participant should be rhythmical, performed at a moderate-to-slow and controlled speed, involve a full range of motion, and demand a normal breathing pattern during lifting movements.
Resistance training should be an integral part of any adult fitness program and should be of sufficient intensity to enhance strength, muscular endurance, and maintain fat-free mass.
Resistance training should be progressive in nature, individualized, and provide a stimulus to all the major muscle groups.
