The most common form of Actual load in the form of free weights
resistance used in (dumbbells,
strength-training barbells), body weight, and selectorized
programs machines
and cable apparatuses. Resistance can
also come
in the form of elasticity through the use of
tubing
and bands.
Strength-training machines Popular in fitness facilities and are often a
good
resistance-training method for new clients.
They
offer those new to exercise a safer and
effective
option to free weights. They may also be
the
strength modality of choice for those who
lack
stability or have other functional limitations,
such as
the elderly.
, Strength machines are generally In terms of Improving core stability and
regarded as inferior to free weights neuromuscular efficiency (proper
movement
patterns) because they offer artificial
support
versus one's core musculature providing
stability.
To improve overall stability and Personal trainers should strive to progress
multiplanar neuromuscular individuals into a more proprioceptively
coordination enriched
environment while using multiple planes of
motion
Strength training machines can be effectively used in all phases
(Phases 1-5) of
the OPT model.
During Phase 1 of the OPT model During this time personal trainers should
strive to
progress clients from strength training
machines to
more proprioceptively enriched
environments.
