TRANSCRIPT
Resistance training was once used by a very small part including a group of elite athletes and weight lifting enthusiasts.
But more recently, resistance training has been more widely used throughout the general population.
Constant
Defined as an unchanging external load throughout the range of motion and is the most poplar form of resistance training.
Simulates real life activity and movements.
Constant exercises may lead to over training if not done correctly.
Accommodating
Accommodating resistance equipment is designed to exert speed controlled or isokinetic resistance throughout the full range of motion.
This can be a mixture of both variable resistance training and constant resistance training.
This includes using bands or chains in an exercise
Variable Resistance
This equipment is designed to alter the resistance that’s put on the targeted muscle throughout the entire range of motion.
VR training is used throughout the entire sports science world including:◦Strength and Conditioning ◦Rehabilitation◦Power Lifting◦Weight Lifting
Cams and Levers
Cams and Lever exercises have a fixed resistance load, so the amount of external resistance is varied by changing the length of the moment arm.
Chains and Rubber Bands
Rubber band resistance was primarily used to help patients regains strength after an injury.
Resistance can be increased by increasing the resting length or adding more bands.
Bands also have different resistance strengths.Can be added at the end of free weights to
increase power. Chains can also be added to free weights, but
differ from bands because they add a great deal of weight to the gravitational force.
Very popular among power lifters because of its emphasis on speed, acceleration, and absolute strength.

Personal Training 101
Creating a successful program for beginner, intermediate, and advanced cliental. ◦Training depends on an appropriate overload
without overtraining. ◦Program components that can be changed to
accommodate the client include number of sets and repetitions, percent of one rep max, amount of rest in-between sets, and exercises used.
Training age vs. Chronological age
Training age is more important because it determines the technical ability and how well their body adapts and recovers to the training.
Training age groups◦ Novice = Less than 6 months ◦Intermediate = 6 months -12 months◦Advanced = At least 1 year of training
