Benefits of Regular Resistance Training
increased muscular strength/endurance, decreased stress, improved self image, prevention of injury, helps prevent osteoporosis
specificity
refers to performing activities specific to your goals
progressive overload
gradual and consistent increase in workload over time to insure continuous gains are made
overtraining
unusual fatigue and soreness and increased risk of injury
periodization

load

volume
repetitions and sets completed
rest period
amount of time dedicated to recovery between sets
concentric phase
shortening of the muscle
eccentric phase
lengthening of the muscle
static stretching
slowly stretch the joint until mild discomfort
ballistic stretching
faster, less controlled movements
proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)
involve use of partner
dynamic stretching
