Effects of high-intensity strength training on cardiovascular function
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1984Thirteen healthy, untrained males (age 44 +/- 1 yr, range 40-55 yr) were studied to determine the effects of 16 wk of high-intensity, variable-resistance, Nautilus strength training on cardiovascular function. A control group consisting of 10 untrained males (age 52 +/- 2 yr, range 40-64 yr) underwent the same evaluation procedures as the training ...

The Effect of Training Volume on Lower-Body Strength
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2012The objective of this study was to examine the chronic effects on lower-body strength in resistance trained men of performing varying training volumes over 6 weeks. A pretest and posttest design was used to investigate the effects on 1-repetition maximum (1RM) squat strength. Also, 1RM testing was performed at 3 weeks.

Strength of skeletal muscle and the effects of training
British Medical Bulletin, 1992The performance of any sporting activity involves a combination of skill and strength and it is very difficult to disentangle their separate contributions. The strength of an individual muscle depends on a number of factors. The major factor is the cross-sectional area of the muscle but others include the extent to which the muscle can be activated by ...

The Effects of Unilateral Velocity-Specific Concentric Strength Training
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 1993There is conflicting evidence regarding the efficacy of various resistance training programs for increasing strength in trained and contralateral limbs. The purposes of this investigation were to examine the effects of unilateral velocity-specific concentric isokinetic training of the extensor and flexor muscles of the elbow and knee on: 1) the carry ...

Physiological effects of low-intensity strength training without relaxation
Human Physiology, 2009The effects of low-intensity strength training without relaxation (LISTR) on the force-velocity properties of hip and knee extensor muscles, the power endurance of the knee extensor muscles, and the aerobic performance of the body were studied. The difference between the LISTR and classical strength training (CST) is that the working muscle groups do ...

The effect of strength training and reduced training on rotator cuff musculature
Clinical Biomechanics, 2000Elucidate the training frequency required to maintain strength gains acquired via short-term resistance training on the rotator cuff.Twenty-one participants performed 12 wk resistance training followed by 12 wk reduced training. Following the training phase (three rotator-cuff-specific exercises; three sessions/wk), participants were randomly assigned ...

Effects of back extensor strength training versus balance training on postural control
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2000Aim of this study was to investigate effects of 1) regular back extensor strength training as opposed to balance training, and 2) the influence of the sequence of both training types on postural control, force, and muscle efficiency.Twenty-six young, healthy subjects were investigated at baseline, 1 month and 2 months later.

Effect of Strength Training on Orthostatic Hypotension in Older Adults
Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation, 1998This preliminary study attempted to identify the frequency of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in community dwelling older adults who volunteered to participate in an 8-week, heavy-resistance, strength-training program. It also assessed the effect of the strength-training program on OH.From a larger study (n = 53) on high-resistance strength training in ...

Effectiveness and safety of strength training in rheumatoid arthritis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2004As muscle weakness is common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), strength training is considered to be an important cornerstone of the nonpharmacological treatment. The training methods have varied widely between the studies. Thus, the purpose of this review is to discuss effectiveness and safety but also basic principles and specificity of ...
