PRACTICAL APLICATION OF STRENGTH TRAINING AT WOMEN

As we said in the previous post, in which we talked about the benefits obtained from strength work in women, we remembered that the main objective of strength work was not to seek to have a bodybuilding body, but to achieve much more efficient strength levels. In this way the daily tasks will be reached with a greater facility and every time it will be possible to reach tasks that at first would seem very difficult. In addition, strength training also contributes to improving overall health and a much better body perception in women (Catena Velasco, 2014).

Broadly speaking, we are going to remember what aspects of strength training affected and benefited women:

  • BENEFITS AT BONE LEVEL
  • GREATER RESISTANCE IN THE CONNECTIVE TISSUES
  •  HIGHER LEVELS OF STRENGTH
  •  REDUCTION IN FAT CONTENT 
  •  PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS



We must detail, that the method used to work the force in women should not be far from what would be the general method for normal populations.
The basic exercises are very effective in strength training for women, as they achieve a greater involvement of muscle groups, which is a key aspect of maintaining an upright and healthy posture.
Considering gender differences, and as a general rule, men tend to be more likely to accumulate fat in the abdominal area, while women tend to do so in the area of the hips, buttocks and the back of the arm. The most important basic exercises to work on women said this would be the dead weight, squats, lunges, press bench, triceps on bench and pull ups (Notario, 2017).

The advantages offered by these exercises are the following:


  • Several body sections are worked at the same time
  • This includes the work of smaller muscle groups, which are often neglected in other types of exercises.
  • Due to the complexity of some and the type of effort to which it is subjected, the burning of body fat is stimulated in a greater way, thus also increasing the lean mass.
  • It promotes the release of growth hormone, testosterone, which has important structural benefits at the body level
It is also necessary to emphasize the facility at the time of structuring the training, since they are exercises that can be practiced in the own house (the majority) because hardly need machines or apparatuses.

See you in the next post. 

May the force be with you!
