In this unit we will discuss essential guidelines for maximizing strength development and ensuring a safe training experience for all SilverSneakers class participants.
Important factors that make a resistance training program progressive are exercise intensity, volume and overload.
Key topics include:
- Selecting the appropriate weight/resistance for progressive strength training
- Understanding the relationship between muscular effort and perceived exertion
- Variations to affect the principle of overload
- Achieving muscle balance in a full body progressive strength training class
