RESISTANCE TRAINING

Resistance Training achieved by working dynamically against high loads or statically against fixed resistances. In both cases, the forces involved must be such that relatively few repetitions are possible without a substantial rest period. A sustained strength-training programme will progressively increase the loads and number of lifts over a period of months, the exercises being performed in several sets, each embodying a specified number of repetitions. In the first 2-3months the main improvement in strength is attributable to increased recruitment of motor units within the pre-existing muscle mass (the ‘neural phase’ of strength training); thereafter, the increase of muscle fiber diameters is the DLINE Resistance Training Equipment includes resistance bands, resisitance tube, resistance loop etc.
