What is resistance training?
Resistance training can also be referred to as weight training or strength training, increases muscle strength, endurance or power.
What is Resistance training?
Power
This refers to how quickly a force generated in the muscle can be applied. The athlete should aim to do the exercise as quickly as possible.
Strength
This is when the muscle has the ability to exert force. Absolute strength is the maximum amount of weight that can be lifted only once. Speed is not important.
Muscular endurance
This is when the muscle resists fatigue. Speed is not important.
Muscles of the body
The muscular system is the body's network of tissues that controls movement. Movement occurs through the contraction (muscle shortens) and relaxation of muscles. Muscles require bones as a means of attachment which allows you to be able to run, jump and walk.
Skeletal muscles also produce subtle movements. What are some examples of subtle movements? Blood also allow blood to rush through them, the lungs to fill with air and they assist with the movement of food through the digestive system.
What does agonist and antagonist mean?
There are 3 major types of strength training:
Training methods
Isometric training
Isometric
Isotonic training
This is where there is constant tension during a lift. This is very difficult to maintain. Why do you think this might be the case?
Isotonic
Isokenetic training
This is when there is a constant rate and speed in the movement during training.
What are some examples of isokenetic training?

Let's do some exercise
Training
The amount and nature of the resistance applied to training can affect the result of the exercise in many ways. The following are activities that can be included in resistance training:
Resistance activities
Callisthenics, free weights and machine systems
Doing exercises that involves only using body weight.
Free weights and machines -
Free weights allow you to have a greater range of motion and allow you to work on one side of your body.
Machines - They can be pin loaded, plate loaded or air operated.
Aquatic activities
Exercising in water allows the participant to have a constant level of resistance. There is little risk of injury when exercising in water. Older people and people recovering from injury will often exercise in water.
Plyometrics
This is used to build maximal strength in a short explosive movement.
When programming for resistance training you need to consider the goal of the athlete. The following table will allow you to organise a program.
