Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Learning Objectives Explain the benefits of developing muscular strength and endurance. Describe how muscles contract. Distinguish muscle fiber types. Classify the types of muscle contractions. Identify the major changes that occur in response to strength training.
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Learning Objectives (continued) List the factors that determine muscle strength and endurance. Outline the principles used in designing a strength and endurance program. Distinguish between types of training programs. Design a program for improving strength and endurance.

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Summary PRE is the overload principle applied to resistance training. Training programs can be designed to yield the greatest muscle strength or muscle endurance. Isotonic, isometric, and isokinetic modes may be incorporated into resistance programs. A strength training program has three phases.
