Strength is having the ability to put maximum force which can be developed onto a group of muscles during a single contraction.
Resistance Training
What is it?
Resistance Training is where any form of exercise which causes the muscles to contract against an external resistance with the expectation of an increase in strength, mass, tone and endurance.The external resistance may be: dumbbells, rubber exercise tubing, your own body weight, bricks, bottles of water or any other object which causes the muscles to contract.

Leg Press
(Quads and Hamstrings)
Chest Press
(Biceps, Triceps and Pectorals)
What are the benefits of using this method?
If you use the machine it has a safety system, this means that there is no risk of the weights falling on top of you if you lose the weight by accident. It also means that you will not need to have a training partner due to this safety measurement.
What are the disadvantages of this training method?
The training machine is expensive and also has a high risk of injury because if the athlete attempts to lift too much weight, without releasing what weight the peg is on. If the athlete uses the wrong technique when lifting the weight it can result in injury.
Within sports, athletes such as Weight Lifters would benefit from using this Training Method as they are causing the correct muscles to contract (Biceps and Triceps) for their sport. The whole point in this sport is too lift the heaviest weight they can possibly lift. The more strength training they do, the more weight they can lift.
