Weight training

Weight training is a popular method of strength training which oppose muscle contraction. This method provides a different challenge to the muscle relating to the position where the resistance to muscle contraction peaks. Weight training provides the majority of the resistance at the initiating joint angle when the movement begins, when the muscle must overcome the inertia of the weight's mass. Strength training is an inclusive term for all types of exercise devoted toward increasing muscular strength and size. The difference between weight training and other types of strength training is how the opposition to muscular contraction is generated.
