From this article published in 1996 eccentric movements benefit both strength and size. The other benefit mentioned in this article is injury prevention. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FIH/is_n6_v65/ai_n18606888/pg_1?tag=artBody;col1
Resistance training, often known as strength training or weight training, involves applying resistance to muscular contraction to increase skeletal muscle size, anaerobic capacity, and strength.
Resistance training is a kind of strength training in which each effort is performed against an opposing force generated by resistance. Resistance exercises develop the strength and size of skeletal muscles. Resistance training can improve overall health and well-being.
The enlargement of muscle cells is called muscle hypertrophy. This process occurs in response to resistance training or strength training, where the muscle fibers increase in size and strength.
Strength training is the use of resistance to muscular contraction to build the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles. There are many different methods of strength training, the most common being the use of gravity or elastic/hydraulic forces to oppose muscle contraction. See the resistance training article for information about elastic/hydraulic training, but note that the terms "strength training" and "resistance training" are often used interchangeably.
Depends what type of training you are referring to. Resistance training (weightlifting) with proper diet/nutrition will lead to increased muscular size, definition and strength.
Actually both, but fitness training does not necessarily entail greater size of muscles. Exercise strengthens and maintains the muscles and their related systems.
it increases their strength/power/endurance depending on what you want out of it. And size or efficiency depending again on which you want to concentrate on.
The Allies had greater miltary strength and size.
It depends on the size of the dog (and the size of the midget)! With strength training, dogs can carry up to 33% of their body weight.
Yes, the ability of a muscle to generate force against an object is referred to as muscle strength. This strength is dependent on factors such as muscle size, muscle fiber type, and neural activation. Strength training can help improve muscle strength over time.
Increasing in muscle fiber size is known as muscle hypertrophy. This typically occurs as a result of strength training and resistance exercises that cause the muscle fibers to adapt and grow in size.
