STRENGTH TRAINING

Description
Strength Training is a mode of exercise that utilizes ever increasing resistance in order to attain the strengthening of the musculoskeletal system.  Done on a regular basis this exercise achieves larger and stronger muscles as well as strengthening of the tendons, ligaments and bones.  Strength training involves use of some form of resistance such as free weights, and elastic bands among others.  Women can not acquire the big muscles that men can; this is due to their lack of testosterone.  So ultimately strength training will produce more defined and stronger muscles in both men and women, but will “bulk” the man. 

Statistical studies show the following:
As both men and women age studies show they tend to do less strengthening exercises.  However men have a higher rate of physical activity as they age than women do. In the younger women over that last few years statistics showed that there was an increased involvement in strength training while the number of men engaged in this form of exercise remained stagnant.

Statistics also show that resistance training can cause increased injuries especially in children if the exercise is not closely monitored. 

Types and Symptoms
There are a number of types of strength Training

Weight Training: This method of strength training works on the principle of opposing muscle contractions utilizing gravity through weights, elastic and hydraulic equipment.

Resistance Training: This method of strength training works on the principle of utilizing the body’s effort to oppose an opposite force produced by resistance. There are two basic types, isotonic and isometric. Isotonic refers to the body in motion while resisting the opposing force, while isometric refers to the body holding still while resisting.
