Resistance Training for PERFORMANCE
The new ‼️ American College of Sports Medicine position stand,
“Resistance Training Prescription for Muscle Function, Hypertrophy, and Physical Performance in Healthy Adults” synthesises 137 systematic reviews involving 30,000+ participants.
This makes it one of the most comprehensive summaries of resistance training research ever produced 🤓📚
Key takeaways:
• 🏋🏼♀️ Strength → driven by high mechanical tension
• Hypertrophy 💪🏽→ primarily volume-dependent
• 🧨 Power → requires intent and velocity
Resistance training remains one of the most powerful tools we have for improving human health 🫀 and performance 🏋🏼.
But, at the end of the day, what matters most is;
👉🏽 program adherence, consistency & progressive overload 📈.
