- increased muscle tone,

- increased capillarisation around the muscle

Free Weights and Fixed Resistance

both use the same training methods

The ability to use voluntary muscles, to contract continuously over long periods of time (greater than 30 minutes) repetitive movements without getting tired.

- Muscular Hypertrophy

When we train (lift weights) micro tears occur in the muscle fibers.

Which are then repaired (through nutrition and adaptation which happens during rest and recovery).

This makes the muscle grow in size.

Expensive

Public provision

Affordable - more accessible

The ability to exert a large amount of force in a single maximum effort.
