High-Intensity Weight Training for People with Disabilities
|
Few people associate weight training / body building exercises with general health improvements. A lot of people have quite a negative image of body building, mostly due to the images in the press of world champion body builders and scandals regarding the use of steroids and other chemicals to aid muscle growth. However, weight training / body building can benefit everyone, of all age groups and abilities. In fact disabilities should not deter people from attaining the positive benefits of a well-structured body building / weight training program. Strength training increases muscle size, prevents bone loss, improves muscle endurance, and increases self-esteem. There is a lot of research that proves that weight training increases bone density and strength as well as muscle mass.
