RESISTANCE

capacity of a muscle to do work

any form of active exercise in which dynamic or static muscle contraction is resisted by an outside force applied manually or mechanically

ability of contractile tissue to produce tension and a resultant force based on the demands placed on the muscle.

systematic procedure of a muscle or muscle group lifting, lowering or controlling heavy loads (resistance) for a relatively low number of repetitions or over a short period of time

most common adaptation to heavy resistance exercise

related to the strength and speed of movement

increasing the work a muscle must perform during a specified period of time

ability to perform low-intensity, repetitive, or sustained activities over a prolonged period of time.

associated with repetitive, dynamic motor activities which involve use of the large muscles of the body

ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly against a load, generate and sustain tension, and resist fatigue over an extended period of time.
