Abstract
In brief: This article introduces terms and concepts associated with resistance training in order to reduce the existing confusion in this area. The authors describe the sports associated with resistance training—weight lifting, power lifting, and bodybuilding—and discuss the benefits of exercising with free weights vs resistance training machines. They also make recommendations for individuals who are starting a resistance training program.
