	TrainGain: Resistance for Endurance?
		The conclusion: training effects were specific to the resistance training mode and did not transfer to the more complex action of rowing.
		Resistance training programs may actually restrict the volume of beneficial, sports specific training that can be achieved because of increased levels of fatigue.
		Although it's impossible to determine whether resistance training alone or the effect of resistance training resulting in tiredness which forced a reduction in endurance training volume caused the impaired performance, it's clear that there was no positive effect of undertaking the two different training modes concurrently.

	Club Champions Personal Training Center - Resistance Training for Our Youth
		Resistance training has been used for many years at a variety of competitive levels to improve performance and help prevent injury.
		Popular resources containing information on resistance training (e.g., the internet, general texts, and popular magazines) often suggests that resistance training is safe for youth and adults of all ages.
		However, a structured resistance training program and its influence on the body’s structures may well be the cornerstone to a positive outcome in many sport situations.

	Resistance Training
		Resistance training is not just for people who are athletes, want to build or tone muscle, or are using resistance training to achieve a better looking body.
		Although strength training accurately describes what resistance training does, many people do not use the term because they think it only applies to those trying to become bigger and stronger when, in fact, all resistance training which is correctly done indeed increases strength, but does not necessary visibly increase size.
		Resistance training does improve the look and tone of the body but it is now known to be more than just a specialized exercise activity.

	Resistance training and health
		Whether training for sports performance or health enhancement, much of the success of the program will be attributable to the effectiveness of the exercise prescription in manipulating the progression of the resistance stimulus, the variation in the program design and the individualization of the program (Kraemer, 1994).
		One of the outstanding benefits of resistance exercise, as it relates to weight loss, is the positive impact of increasing energy expenditure during the exercise session and somewhat during recovery, and on maintaining or increasing fat-free body mass while encouraging the loss of fat body weight (Young and Steinhard, 1995).
		Be aware that the training demands of resistance training may be greater for novice, low-fitness level, and elder individuals, due to the unique physiological challenges of the activity, and the level of fitness of the individuals.

	Berger: Adaptation of Skeletal Muscle to Resistance Training (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The stage of resistance is also commonly referred to as the "stage of adaptation." For the resistance trainer, performance increases during this stage as the body adapts to the program.
		Typically, overtraining represents a level of training that exceeds the whole body's capacity to adapt to multiple stresses rather than a specific muscle or muscle fiber's ability to adapt to a load, as is seen in the abuses of the overload principle.
		Resistance trainers who understand the adaptive capacity of the musculature are more able to develop safe and effective training programs that provide a continuous challenge.

		Resistance training is one of the most effective ways to improve overall fitness, yet only 16 percent of adults between the ages of 18 and 64 participate in resistance training at least twice a week.
		Resistance training is really a stress on the body that when properly applied will cause it to adapt in a positive way.
		Resistance training has also been shown to increase HDL-cholesterol (the good cholesterol) and improve insulin resistance (a condition that leads to Type II diabetes – a cardiovascular disease risk factor).

	Concurrent Resistance Training and Aerobic Training: The Problem and the Science Behind the Solution
		Docherty and Sporer noted that aerobic training to increase maximum oxygen consumption and hence the body's ability to transport and use oxygen is dependent upon both a central component involving adaptations in the cardiopulmonary system and a peripheral component involving adaptations in muscle tissues.
		Aerobic training at very high intensities through its effects on mechanisms associated with peripheral adaptations may be the cause of blunting of strength gains and hypertrophy when aerobic training is done along with resistance training.
		The basic theory holds that high intensity aerobic training such as interval training affects specific mechanisms in peripheral adaptations such as those involved in increasing a muscle's oxidative capacity while a resistance training protocol for hypertrophy would try to increase protein synthesis and also stress the anaerobic energy system.

		Resistance training is a completely separate activity from the sports of power lifting or competitive weightlifting.
		The risk of musculoskeletal injury resulting from resistance training during preadolescence cannot be excluded, but the risk is low in competently supervised training conditions where competition among subjects is prohibited.
		Circuit training with low to moderate resistance should be considered as a means of introducing children to correct technique, and to capitalize on possible cardiorespiratory benefits.

	Getting Strong Through Resistance Training (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Resistance training - sometimes called weight training or strength training - is a "specialized method of conditioning designed to increase muscle strength, muscle endurance and muscle power," according to the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI).
		Resistance training can be done in several ways: with resistance machines, free-weights (dumbbells and barbells), rubber tubing, or your own body weight as in doing push-ups, squats or abdominal crunches.
		Resistance training should not be confused with weightlifting, powerlifting or bodybuilding, which are competitive sports.

	High-Resistance Interval Training Improves 40-km Time-Trial Performance
		To determine the effect of high-resistance interval training on endurance performance of male cyclists during the competition phase of a season.
		Indeed, in the only pervious training study performed during the competitive phase of a season (Toussaint and Vervoorn, 1990), sport-specific resistance training enhanced competitive time-trial performance of swimmers by an amount equivalent to a useful but smaller ~2% in power output.
		I was also interested in the benefits of resistance training for endurance performance, and coincidentally performed a study on cyclists during the same competitive season that Paton and Hopkins performed their training study.

	Ultracycling: Resistance training, part 1
		Resistance training is a valuable tool that can contribute to the development of endurance athletes of all levels and abilities.
		Resistance training is any activity that overloads muscles more than on the road bike, thus resulting in strength gains.
		Resistance activities which move in the same forward-backward plane as cycling, and have a similar motion to road cycling (e.g., snow shoeing, mountain biking) will translate more directly to improved cycling than activities which are more general (e.g., squats).

		The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of high intensity endurance training (ET) and resistance training (RT) alone and in combination on various military tasks.
		The combination of resistance training (RT) and endurance training (ET) is frequently used in athletic, military, and civilian populations for performance enhancement.
		For those subjects performing combined training (RT + ET and UB + ET), RT sessions were split during the week and paired with run workouts so that on each training day only one of the exercise protocols (i.e., hypertrophy or sprint interval) produced high levels of blood lactate (>10 mmol.

	Resistance Training
		The popular myth that resistance training was not only potentially harmful to young performers but was also of little use for improving strength and power was first fostered in the research community.
		Training programmes incorporating progressive overloading of the muscles have provided evidence that strength gains in young athletes is possible (even if they have not gone through puberty).
		However, if you closely supervise your young athletes during resistance training sessions, ensuring they follow a structured training programme, they should be at no greater risk of injury than when they are taking part in their chosen sport.

	The feed zone - Nutrition for Resistance Training
		Depending on your current training cycle, resistance training or weight training is often part of the program, while the goals and emphasis of the resistance session may progress from an endurance to a power emphasis during your season.
		Consuming some protein prior to your resistance training efforts is probably the most important nutrition strategy to facilitate improved protein synthesis, and may be even more effective than what you consume after training.
		Often your nutritional choices before and after weight training may be related to the practicality of your food and fluid choices and availability. Keep snacks on hand to consume both before and after resistance training.

	Toilet Training Resistance in Toddlers
		Things to avoid when toilet training your child, and help prevent resistance, are beginning during a stressful time or period of change in the family (moving, new baby, etc.), pushing your child too fast, and punishing mistakes (treat accidents and mistakes lightly).
		The process of being fully potty trained, with your child recognizing when he has to go to the potty, physically goes to the bathroom and pulls down his pants, urinates or has a bowel movement in the potty, and dresses himself, can take time, often up to three to six months for most children.
		Potty training resistance usually occurs because your child has had a bad experience at some point during potty training, especially if he was started before he was intellectually or psycholgoically ready.

	Resistance Training and EPOC
		The research suggests that high-intensity resistance exercise disturbs the body’s homeostasis to a greater degree than aerobic exercise.
		The underlying mechanisms that cause the higher EPOC observed in resistance exercise include elevated blood lactate, and an increase in circulating catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) and anabolic hormones.
		The authors concluded that intense resistance training produces modest, but prolonged elevation of postexercise metabolic rate in women.
