Resistance training involves movement against resistance,which increases muscular strength and endurance.Most commonly,resistance training refers to weight lifting and isotonic movement.When exercising for strength,the amount of resistance is increased with each exercise.When exercising for endurance,the number of repetitions is increased with each exercise.Flexibility training will not increase muscular strength.Aerobic and anaerobic conditioning may have some benefit on strength and endurance,but their primary focus is cardiovascular conditioning.
