The Science Behind Resistance Training. Resistance training works on a simple principle - using resistance to muscular contraction to build the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles. When you lift a weight or pull a resistance band, your muscles strain against the resistance, causing microscopic damage to muscle fibers.

2 22 Abstract 23 Background & Aims: Aging frequently causes changes in body composition, such as a loss of strength and 24 muscular mass and an increase in fat mass. Exercise training programs have been suggested as effective 25 strategies to mitigate or prevent age-related declines in body composition. Therefore, this study examined 26 the effects of a sixteen-week High-Speed Resistance
