Resistance Training : Principles, Adaptations & Health Effects Paperback / softback

Edited by Zachary T. Fields

Paperback / softback

Description

Resistance exercise is characterized by a voluntary muscle contraction of a body segment against an external resistance.

It generates a number of effects on body composition, in particular muscle hypertrophy.

In this book, Chapter One studies the effects of resistance and aerobic training on obesity, a worldwide epidemic with an alarming high prevalence.

Chapter Two shows the effectiveness of resistance training on three diseases with rheumatic features.

Chapter Three summarizes findings from a university-community-based resistance training program (with information sessions and social gatherings) that was designed for older people.
