1. Benefits of Strength Training
By Chad Tackett, president of GHF
Strength training is exercise that uses resistance to strengthen and
condition the musculoskeletal system, improving muscle tone and
endurance. "Strength-training" is used as a general term synonymous
with other common terms: "weightlifting" and "resistance training."
Physiologically, the benefits of consistent strength training include
an increase in muscle size and tone, increased muscle strength, and
increases in tendon, bone, and ligament strength. Strength-training
has also been shown to improve psychological health as well, by
increasing self-esteem, confidence and self-worth.
These improvements have a great influence on our physical performance,
metabolic efficiency, physical appearance and risk of injury. I'll
go
into each of these in detail, outlining some very exciting benefits
of
a good strength-training program that most people overlook or don't
realize.
Improved Physical Performance and Appearance
One important result of strength training is increased physical
performance. Muscles quite literally utilize energy to produce movement,
functioning as the engine or powerhouse of the body. Strength training
increases the muscles' size, strength, and endurance, which contribute
to improvements in our work, our favorite sports and hobbies, and our
general day-to-day activities.
