Resistance Training

Subscribe to New Research on Resistance Training

A type of strength-building exercise program that requires the body muscle to exert a force against some form of resistance, such as weight, stretch bands, water, or immovable objects. Resistance exercise is a combination of static and dynamic contractions involving shortening and lengthening of skeletal muscles.

1.	Hypertrophy 04/01/2009 - "After the eight-week strength training period, isometric strength (+16%, p<0.01), muscular endurance (+84%; p<0.001), maximal power (+51%, p<0.001), muscular hypertrophy from slice 6/27 to slice 11/27 of both thighs (p<0.05), and functionality (p<0.001) improved significantly. " 04/01/2004 - "These data suggest that muscle strength and mass can be improved in the elderly with both high- and moderate-intensity resistance training, but high-resistance training can lead to greater strength gains and hypertrophy than can moderate-resistance training." 11/01/2008 - "The results suggest that a whole-body LST resistance training regimen is as effective for muscular hypertrophy and strength gain as HN resistance training." 08/01/2006 - "Efficacy of 3 days/wk resistance training on myofiber hypertrophy and myogenic mechanisms in young vs. older adults." 06/01/2001 - "CONCLUSIONS: Strength training improved physical performances of women over 6 months and adaptations in strength, power, and endurance were specific to the subtle differences (e.g., exercise choice and speeds of exercise movement) in the resistance training programs (strength/power vs strength/hypertrophy).

2.	Pain (Aches) 10/15/2008 - "CONCLUSION: Resistance training improved muscle strength and self-reported measures of pain and physical function in over 50-75% of this cohort; 50-100% of the studies reported a significant improvement in all but 1 performance-based physical function measure (walk time). " 10/15/2008 - "Self-reported measures of pain, physical function, and performance, along with muscle strength (mean 17.4%), maximal gait speed and chair stand time, and balance improved significantly following resistance training in 56-100% of studies where they were measured. " 05/01/2006 - "Adding progressive strength training for the second year led to a significant improvement in neck strength and also to a considerable decrease in the pain and disability scores. " 08/01/2000 - "OBJECTIVES: To study whether isometric shoulder endurance was more advantageous than isometric shoulder strength training in reducing pain and perceived exertion and to increase shoulder function through improved muscle endurance and strength. " 06/01/2008 - "BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Muscle-specific strength training has previously been shown to be effective in the rehabilitation of chronic neck muscle pain in women.

3.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 10/01/2008 - "RESULTS: Maximum weight-bearing on the affected leg improved more in the functional strength training group (mean 17.4% of body weight) than in the training-as-usual group (mean 5.6% of body weight), but taking test data at inclusion into consideration, the difference in change was not statistically significant (P = 0.056). " 02/01/2003 - "Traditional resistance training increases energy expenditure more than SST does and thus may be more beneficial for body weight control." 08/01/2001 - "Both strength training protocols produced a significant improvement in strength during a 10-week training period, but the TR protocol produced better gains in the absence of changes in percentage of body fat, body mass index, lean body mass, and body weight. " 09/01/1996 - "Results indicate that total body weight significantly increased in each group and that P supplementation resulted in significantly greater gains in lean tissue mass during resistance training." 01/01/2003 - "The purpose of this review is to examine the efficacy of a variety of gait retraining techniques currently in clinical use, including strength training, functional electrical stimulation, treadmill training, partial body-weight support, EMG biofeedback, and splinting of the lower extremity.

4.	Heart Failure 07/20/2005 - "CONCLUSIONS: The benefits from resistance training for chronic heart failure patients on beta-blocker medication included an increased aerobic and exercise capacity, skeletal muscle strength and most importantly, an improvement in the quality of life, which is the main goal of cardiac rehabilitation programs. " 09/01/2009 - "CONTEXT: Resistance training may be beneficial for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). " 03/01/2009 - "However, in recent years both aerobic and resistance training have been shown to be safe and beneficial for patients with heart failure, improving exercise tolerance and quality of life, and preventing muscular deconditioning. " 10/01/2009 - "Further studies are needed to assess whether the strategy of increasing muscular strength of lower limb by programmed resistance training could be effective for improving exercise intolerance in patients after heart valve surgery and symptomatic patients with heart failure." 11/02/2005 - "INTRODUCTION: Resistance training (RT) has been shown to improve chronic heart failure (CHF) patients' functional ability and quality of life.

5.	Sarcopenia 08/01/2006 - "Resistance training (RT) has shown the most promise in reducing/reversing effects of sarcopenia, although the optimum regime specific for older adults remains unclear. " 01/01/2008 - "Progressive resistance training (PRT) is widely accepted as an appropriate modality for treating sarcopenia and has been reported to improve balance. " 06/01/2000 - "Treatment of sarcopenia with progressive resistance training is safe and effective, but dissemination of this technique to the general population has yet to occur. " 01/01/1999 - "Sarcopenia and decreased muscle strength in the elderly woman: resistance training as a safe and effective intervention." 01/01/2000 - "In this review, the authors outline the magnitude of these losses, their functional consequences, and the efficacy of strength training (ST) as an intervention strategy for delaying, preventing or reversing the effects of sarcopenia.
