Introduction[edit | edit source]
Strength training is a type of physical exercise specializing in the use of resistance to induce muscular contraction which builds the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles. It is also known as resistance training and it is indicated for muscle hypertrophy, strength gain, sport performance and physical rehabilitation, but in the last few years it has been promoted as a means for health promotion and disease prevention [1,9].
Benefits of strength training[edit | edit source]
When properly performed, strength training can provide significant functional benefits and improvement in overall health and well-being, including increased bone, muscle, tendon, and ligament strength and toughness, improved joint function, reduced potential for injury,[1] increased bone density, increased metabolism, increased fitness[2][3] and improved cardiac function. Training commonly uses the technique of progressively increasing the force output of the muscle through incremental weight increases and uses a variety of exercises and types of equipment to target specific muscle groups.
Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]
add text here relating to the clinical presentation of the condition, including pre- and post- intervention assessment measures.
Resources[edit | edit source]
add appropriate resources here, including text links or content demonstrating the intervention or technique
