Forms of Variable Resistance Training

Resistance Training Methods Have Been Broadly Classified Into 3 Categories: Constant, Accommodating, and Variable Resistance. Variable Resistance Training Methods, Which Includes Cams and Levers, Chains, and Rubber-Based Resistance, Will Be the Focus of This Article. The Kinematics, Kinetics, and Human Strength Curve Characteristics Associated With These 3 Types of Variable Resistance Are Discussed, Given That Each Resistance Type May Offer a Unique Set of Mechanical Stimuli And, Hence, Musculoskeletal Adaptations. The Practical Applications and Limitations Associated With Each Form of Variable Resistance Will Also Be Considered.
