Document Summary

Increase muscle power (force and velocity) strength to produce motion (force x velocity) Secondary benefit of exercise heart takes in more o2, oxygenates more blood and moves more blood increase blood volume. Increase the number of capillaries going to the muscle, required to do that task: get more blood and o2 to muscle and increase local endurance in that part of the body. Fitness differs from (cid:862)trai(cid:374)i(cid:374)g(cid:863), (cid:449)hich is the (cid:373)axi(cid:373)izi(cid:374)g the effecti(cid:448)e(cid:374)ess of a task. What works for all 5 goals is based on sound biomechanics. Application of external loads on parts of the body, against which the subject moves. Free weights: body weight positions, gravity resistance machines, variable weights. Dumb-bells, bar-bells, kettle-bells or any other weight that is lifted or moved. Requires more control by lifter since the entire trajectory must be controlled to work against gravitational pull. Should have a spotter when near limit of ability or when fatigued (bench press)
