Facts about
Resistance Training

Everyone can gain strength and


endurance
NOT everyone will improve to the same
extent (genetic predisposition)

Adaptations depend largely on the muscle


fibers type distribution. Fast twitch muscle
fibers adapt more readily.

Sample Calculation

Question: Whos stronger:


A: 250 pound person who can lift 200
pounds
B: 150 pound person who can lift 175
pounds

Answer: B
A: relative strength = 200/250 = .80
B: relative strength = 175/150 = 1.17
