(also called resistance training) The process of exercising with progressively heavier resistance for the purpose of strengthening the musculoskeletal system.
Working the muscles against external resistance to increase muscular strength, muscular endurance or muscular power.
Using weights or resistance to improve your muscular strength and endurance.
Exercises designed to increase muscle, build strength, and maintain bone mass.
Applying a greater load than normal to a muscle to increase its capability.
Movements against resistance to develop muscular strength; usually weight training/lifting weights
A very important part of what a rower does, not only for competition purposes but also for the prevention of injury. This involves a very gradual progression of training in technique, flexibility, core stability and finally muscular strength and endurance. All such training is tailored to the individual's own capacity and circumstances, and is carefully monitored.
Exercise specifically designed to work the muscles and make them larger and stronger. See weight training.
Exercise with progressive resistance to increase the endurance and power of muscles.
This helps you tone muscles and lose fat. It also helps to keep your bones keep your bones strong-which helps you avoid fractures as your bones weaken with age.
the use of resistance to increase one's ability to exert or resist force for the purpose of improving performance
Working out with free weights, resistance bands, or your own body weight to increase bone density, joint support, balance, and metabolism.
Strength training is a blanket term for all exercises that develop the strength and size of skeletal muscles. There are many different ways of strength training, the most common being the use of gravity (see weight training) or elastic/hydraulic (see resistance training) forces to oppose muscle contraction. Strength training and resistance training are terms often used interchangeably - currently within Wikipedia, resistance training is used to refer to elastic/hydraulic training alone.
