Resistentsustreeningu

Resistentsustreeningu is a term found in some Nordic-language sources to refer to resistance training, a broad category of physical training that uses external resistance to stimulate muscle adaptations. In practice, resistentsustreeningu encompasses exercises performed with free weights, resistance machines, resistance bands, or body weight, with the goal of increasing muscular strength, power, hypertrophy, and sometimes endurance.

Core principles of resistentsustreeningu include progressive overload (gradually increasing resistance or volume), specificity (matching exercises to desired outcomes), and adequate recovery. Programs typically include multi-joint movements such as squats, deadlifts, and presses, as well as single-joint exercises. Training variables—loads, reps, sets, tempo, and rest—are adjusted according to the performer’s goals, experience, and safety considerations. Proper technique and gradual progression are emphasized to reduce the risk of injury.

Applications and populations for resistentsustreeningu are broad. It is used by athletes to improve performance, by individuals pursuing general fitness, and in rehabilitation contexts where controlled resistance helps restore function. Beginners usually start with foundational movements, lower loads, and 2–3 sessions per week, while advanced trainees may train more frequently with periodized plans and varying intensities. Adaptations can be tailored for older adults and people with medical conditions through adjusted volume and supervision.

Terminology and usage vary by language and source. While resistentsustreeningu is a recognized form of training described in some references, many texts simply use resistance training or strength training to convey the same concept. See also: resistance training; strength training.
