resistance
Resistance training, toning and weight training are one and the same activity; they require the use of resistance to increase muscle size and strength. The most well known equipment used for Resistance Training is ‘weights’, or more specifically dumb bells or barbells.
During resistance training exercise muscle fibres are broken down and in the days following the work-out the fibres repair and grow stronger to meet the demands that have been placed on it. Therefore rest days are as important as the exercise itself.
Resistance training is great for people who are looking to become powerful rather than agile skaters.
There are some derby specific drills that can improve the muscles in your legs. Check out the resistance training section of the drills blog.
