Muscle Development

 

To improve either muscle strength or size, the muscle cells are purposely damaged through a process of overloading. The body reacts instinctively to repair the damaged cells so they can cope with any future overload, increasing their size and strength in the process.

 

This type of training is best achieved by working isolated areas with some form of resistance such as weights. Resistance training can be incorporated into an overall training program and should be designed by a qualified professional.

 

Resistance training can be an important part of fitness for osteoporosis patients as it helps with bone density and joint strength.
