Strength training is also known as resistance training. This is a form of exercise that causes muscles to contract to resist an external force. This resistance can come from the weight of the body, dumbbells, exercise machines or resistance bands.
Muscle activation
Strength training helps improve activation and movement of muscles throughout the body. This enhanced activation can enhance coordination as the body learns how to use the right muscles to perform movements.
This means that strength training will strengthen the connection between the brain and muscles, improving performance. When your body is more functional in activating the right muscles at the right time, your movements will become smoother and more coordinated.
Providing support and stability for joints
Strength training helps strengthen muscles around joints, helping to stabilize and support the body.
Enhance body positioning sensation
Feeling your body position is the ability to know where your body is in space. This is an important factor, especially when you stumble, slip or step down the stairs incorrectly - the body will maintain better balance.
Strength training not only helps maintain balance, but also increases the ability to control movement, whether you are standing still or moving.
Strengthen core muscles
The core muscle is a muscle group in the abdomen, pelvis, hips and lower back that surrounds the mid- body and supports the entire body. These muscles play an important role in maintaining balance and coordination.
Doing core- targets can help improve the strength of this muscle group, thereby enhancing balance and coordination.
