Resistance atrophy is the reduction of resistance over time, particularly through a movement. When you move free weights quickly, the resistance atrophy is due to momentum of the weight reducing the amount of energy required to continue moving the weight.
Elastic "strength bands" are more resistant to short-term resistance atrophy, because they tend to provide more resistance as they're stretched. However, such elastic bands can become worn out over time, contributing to long-term atrophy.
Body weight exercises, which use the mass (or a percentage thereof) of the person doing the exercise to provide resistance with gravity. Momentum-based resistance atrophy is in play here, as well as long-term atrophy due to the usual loss of body mass that occurs with exercise, though this will cap when a healthy weight is reached, and may even reverse as muscle mass is added.

What does the term failure mean in weight lifting and body building?
Failure is the point at which a muscle is no longer able to perform the work demanded. If a muscle is capable of lifting 100 lbs, 10 times, it is said to fail at that weight after 10 reps.
What does atrophy mean in roman mythology?
it means muscle wasting
What does mild diffuse atrophy mean in a CT report?
There is some shrinking (atrophy) throughout (diffuse) the organ being studied and it is not severe (mild).
What does atrophied mean?
Atrophy means muscle wasting or wasting of other body parts due to degeneration of cells
What does global cerebral atrophy with prominence of the sulci and ventricles mean?
loss of neurons
What does it mean to have muscular atrophy?
Muscular atrophy is a decrease in the mass of muscle. It can be a result of common diseases such as cancer, AIDS, renal failure and congestive heart failure. People who suffer from muscular atrophy have either partial or complete wasting away of the muscle, depending on the severity of the case.
If someone has a marked generalised atrophy in the kidneys what does it mean?
Relatively large amounts of the kidneys have shrunk.
How do you lift weight safely?
If you mean your form, then it all depends on the movement, but generally you never ever want to round your back when lifting anything, especially deadlifts. Asking a friend to spot you when lifting is also a great idea, he/she can also monitor your form to make sure it's clean.
What does lifting free weights mean?
it just means lifting weights that is not on a machine like using a curl bar
What sports needs muscular strength?
Almost all sports need muscular strength of some type or form. For example even in running it is important to train the muscles of your legs. If you mean dense muscle, sports such as shot put and perhaps boxing are sports that require muscular strength.
What does prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci mean?
It's a sign of (severe) cerebral atrophy. It's being seen on CT or/and MRI scans of the brain. Generalized sulcal prominence diffusely is consistent with diffuse brain atrophy.
How would the shape of a car change the speed?
different shapes would mean different air resistance and weight both of which slow the car down the more there is
