Strength training is a type of exercise that focuses on using resistance to improve muscular strength and overall endurance. Not only does it lead to longer, leaner, larger muscles, but it has several other benefits as well. Strength training has a huge impact on an athlete’s overall physical fitness and health. Research has shown that strengthening exercises are both safe and effective for individuals of all ages, even for those who are not at optimal health, which means anyone can participate in these types of exercises. In fact individuals suffering from cardiovascular disease or arthritis sometimes benefit the most from strength conditioning, improving their physical and mental health.
