Strength training is exercise that strengthens the resistance of the musculoskeletal system and uses the condition to improve muscle tone and stamina. "Weight training" and "strength training" Physiologically, the advantages of a consistent force training are an increase in size and weight. Muscle tone, increased muscle strength, and an increase in strength of the
tendons, bones and ligaments. Lifting weights, it has also improved mental health, as well as demonstrated by an increase in self-esteem, self-confidence and self-esteem.Appearance and performance improvement
An important result of strength training is increased physical performance. Literally, muscles use energy to generate movement as the motor works or the force of the body. Strength training increases the size, strength and endurance of the muscles and helps to improve our work, hobby sport and daily activities.
Another advantage of a good strength training program is its effect on our overall composition of the appearance and the body. This can directly affect self-esteem, self-esteem and confidence level. Take, for example, a man of 170 pounds who has 20 percent body fat; 34 pounds of fat weight and 136 pounds of lean body mass (muscles, bones, organs, water, etc.). When an effective strength training begin replacing five pounds of fat with five pounds of muscle. It still weighs 170 pounds, but now it is 17 percent fat with 29 pounds of fat and 141 pounds of lean body weight. Although his body weight remains the same, strength, muscle tone and metabolism have improved, a suitable appearance.
Because our appearance and our physical performance can be improved by increasing the muscle or obstructed by muscle reduction. Research shows that when the process of regular force; We lose about half a kilogram of muscle every year of our lives after 30 years. When we implement an effective weight lifting program and safely, our muscles gradually decrease in size and strength in the process called "atrophy".
Lifting weights is important to prevent muscle breakdown, which usually accompanies the aging process. A common mistake is that when we reach the age of the elderly, it is normal to start active and start with walking aids such as poles and wheelchairs. Many people think we have no other choice; They think it's normal.
But that could not be further from the truth. There is absolutely no reason why we should not be all physically, mentally, socially, and sexually active to live a healthy and vibrant to our last day on earth! The reason why many older people rely on ambulatory helpers and become slower and fatter is simply that over the years their muscles have disappeared, making their physical performance and metabolism also lessen, less and less effective.
Increased metabolic efficiency (the ability to burn excess calories)This half kilo muscle loss every year after the age of 30 produces a reduction of half a percent of the basic turnover (BMR) every year. A reduction in BMR means that our bodies are less able to use the foods we eat as energy, leaving more than body fat. "The Grundumsatz" refers to the energy that is used by our body in the resting state to maintain normal body functions.
Our muscles have a high energy requirement. Even when we sleep, our muscles use more than 25% of our energy (calories). If you apply the principles of effective strength training and you are consistent in your program, you will achieve an increase in muscle mass through your body and increase your BMR. In other words, you can actually make your metabolic conditions work more efficiently and better, even at rest.
An increase in muscle tissue leads to an increase in metabolism rate and a decrease in muscle tissue leads to a decrease in the metabolic rate. You can see that anyone interested in the percentage decrease in body fat and the risk of disease, as well as increased physical performance and appearance, should be force training to help their metabolism condition (BMR).
One of the biggest mistakes people make when a weight control program is not a force training routine with perpetual training and low fat diet. This is unfortunate because when you cut calories without exercise, we lose muscle as well as fat.
Reduced risk of injuryOur muscles also serve as a shock absorber and as an important balancing agent through our body. The well-conditioned muscles reduce repetitive land forces in weight-bearing activities such as running or playing basketball. Balanced muscles to reduce the risk of injury that a muscle will occur when weaker than its opposing muscle group.
To reduce the risk of uneven muscle development, must ensure that during the formation of a group of specific muscle, opposing groups are also trained (but not necessarily the same day). For example, if you exercise the bench pressure on your chest, you need to include rowing exercises for the back muscles as well.
By now, you have realized that weight lifting should be an important part of your exercise routine. Weight lifting provides many important benefits that can not be exercised or achieved by another activity. When you start to get good results, the excitement and fun you experience, the change is worthwhile. Good luck; I wish you all the wonderful benefits of an effective training program of strength.
