Objectives
This next lesson will cover Chapter 5, using resistance training to improve your muscular strength and muscular endurance. After this lesson you should be able to identify the benefits of muscular strength and endurance, understand the basic structure of muscles and the mechanics of a contraction or a muscular contraction. You should also know how we measure strength, and be able to apply the FITT formula, just like we did in the last lesson, but this time to develop a resistance training program instead of a cardiovascular endurance program.
