The Importance of Resistance Training

Most literature incorporates both strength and endurance training into one category called “Resistance Training”. Regardless of whether training is done to improve strength or to improve endurance, it is important to include as part of a regular training program.

Most adults lose about ½ pound of muscle each year after the age of 20. Muscle mass is associated with metabolism. Muscle burns calories at a higher rate than fat, so the more muscle you have, the more efficient you are (and the more you need to eat). Resistance training builds muscle to prevent or reduce muscle loss and help improve metabolism – a key to maintaining your weight.

Benefits of Resistance Training

In addition to the physical appearance benefits, here are some of the other benefits shown in the literature:

Improved blood pressure
Increased bone density
Improved metabolic function
Improved balance and shock absorbency
Improved body composition

Increased strength of muscles and connective tissue which decreases the risk of injury.

Resistance training has two different, sometimes confused meanings - a more broad meaning that refers to any training that uses a resistance to the force of muscular contraction (better termed strength training), and elastic resistance, which refers to a specific type of strength training that uses elastic tension to provide this resistance. This article discusses the more limited definition, of elastic resistance training.

Basic principles

Resistance training is a form of strength training in which each effort is performed against a specific opposing force generated by resistance (i.e. resistance to being pushed, squeezed, stretched or bent). Exercises are isotonic if a body part is moving against the force. Exercises are isometric if a body part is holding still against the force. Resistance exercise is used to develop the strength and size of skeletal muscles. Properly performed, resistance training can provide significant functional benefits and improvement in overall health and well-being.

The goal of resistance training, according to the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI), is to "gradually and progressively overload the musculoskeletal system so it gets stronger." Research shows that regular resistance training will strengthen and tone muscles and increase bone mass. Resistance training should not be confused with weightlifting, powerlifting or bodybuilding, which are competitive sports involving different types of strength training with non-elastic forces such as gravity (weight training or plyometrics) an immovable resistance (isometrics, usually the body's own muscles or a structural feature such as a doorframe). Full range of motion is important in resistance training because muscle overload occurs only at the specific joint angles where the muscle is worked.

Resistance training can be performed using various types of exercise equipment or:

Speedster

Training System tm

The SPEEDSTER Training System is a 3 phase complete speed and quickness training program.

HEAVY RESISTANCE, LIGHT RESISTANCE, AND OVER-SPEED TRAINING

Heavy resistance develops super explosive starts while light resistance increases acceleration speed. Over/Speed develops faster sprint speed by developing the function of the fast twitch muscle fiber. Over/Speed training will increase a longer stride length as well as increasing leg turn over rate.

Lightning Cord for over/speed training which pulls the runner (faster than their natural sprint speed) up to a total of 40 yards of sprint speed.

Ice Lighting Speed

Resistance and over-speed training at its best!!

How the System Works

When working on power training and skating speed, two players at a time are used. Each player wears a SPEEDSTER Waist Belt with a Lightning Cord attached between them. The lead player has the Lightning Cord attached to the back side of his belt while the trail player has the Lightning Cord attached in front of his belt. The trail player also has a holding strap which a third player uses to hold the trail player as the lead player skates and stretches the Lightning Cord. As the lead player skates ahead the Lightning Cord provides resistance between them. When the lead player has started to slow down the trail player is released, immediately creating a tremendous amount of speed. With proper technique, this system will not only lengthen stride, it will also create a faster leg repetition between each stride.

The resistance training in combination with the over-speed training develops a player that can skate with a tremendous amount of power and speed. These training ideas can also be used with Inline skates, though a great amount of caution should be demonstrated.

The SPEEDSTER Training should always be used under supervision
