Resistance training is when external force is applied to activate the bodies kinetic chain (bones, muscles and nerves) to produce internal force to move the stress that it has placed on the body.
Resistance training exercises increase nervous system and muscle protein activity. This creates an after burn that continues for days after exercising, while muscle proteins adjust to the stimulus. This reorganization can lead to strength and/or increase, which after a certain level, must be supported by an increase in calories. Resistance training is a very effective and necessary factor in any program.
Along with the benefits of resistance training listed above, there are numerous other benefits associated with a safe and effective resistance training program.
* Increased bone density
* Improved work capacity
* Increased metabolic rate
* increased self esteem
* Imporve posture
* Increase lean body mass
* Increase muscle strength
* Beneficial effects on depression
