CHAPTER III
STRENGTH/RESISTANCE TRAINING
Objectives:
1. Define strength or resistance training.
2. Identify the types of resistance training exercise and its examples.
3. Define fitness exercise and perform some activities related to this.
4. Discuss the benefits of having a strong core stability.
Introduction:
Strength training (also known as resistance training) is a type of exercise that causes your
muscles to contract against an outside resistance. The outside resistance can be from your
body weight, weight machines, medicine balls, resistance bands or dumbbells.
Resistance training is any physical activity that causes the muscles to work against an
additional force or weight. And this concept is called resistance.
Two Types of Resistance Training Exercise
1. Isotonic Exercise
These exercises involve any movement of your muscle groups (legs, arms, stomach,
back, etc.) against some type of resistance (Examples: lifting barbells, dumbbells, exercise
using resistance bands, or body weight exercises including push ups and sit-ups).
2. Isometric Exercise
These exercises do not involve movement of the joint itself, but instead the muscle
group is held still in lace against the resistance (Examples: plank holds, wall sits, holding
grocery bags, etc.)
Both forms of resistance training can be used to firm and strengthen muscle. As the
muscle strengthens, the amount of resistance can also increase, encouraging further muscle
building and strength. Any muscle group can benefit from resistance training.
FITNESS EXERCISE
It is one of the important course to develop and understand the scientific basic
movements to help the students to be aware of physical literacy, which help an individual to
move competently and confidently in all types of environments. This kind of exercise is
being offered to prepare individuals for the advance learning of movement.
Regular exercise improves health in many ways. People who engage in regular exercise
have lower rates of depression, stress, heart disease, cancer and many other chronic diseases.
Exercise can improve physical fitness, strength, energy capacity levels, stamina and mental
health. In children and teens, frequent and vigorous exercise helps to increase bone strength.
In muscle and bone activities, also known as weight- bearing exercise, bones and
muscle of the legs and the trunk work against the force of gravity while they bear the weight
of the body. Activities like jogging, walking, dancing, swimming, stair climbing are all
examples of weight-bearing exercise.
STRENGTH/RESISTANCE TRAINING
For bone strengthening, long exercise sessions are not always necessary and brief
bouts of high impact exercise are sufficient. High impact exercise involves exercises like
running, walking. jumping, and other approach of exercise.
Warm Up Activities
Here's the breakdown
10 exercises
30 seconds each
No equipment needed; only body weight exercises are used.
Types of Stretching
Movements
Basic movement skills are very important to an individual, if the students are properly
taught with the basic skills they are confident and competent enough to develop complex
movement skills that will allow them to enjoy any sports and physical activity without
hesitation. They will surely move with ease and free from injuries.
Strength training, which is also known as resistance training, has historically been one
of the most underrated forms of fitness, at least in terms of popular media. Usually, the focus
of exercise trends focuses on cardio, and resistance training is often left out and discounted as
only building strength where it should be seen as a tool for improved health, wellness and
fitness. Strength training has so many benefits, that it should be included by people of all ages
and abilities. In fact, many people who “hate cardio” might find a happy alternative in
strength training, leading to an increased ability to stick to an exercise routine.
