Improved figure and posture
Frauen wie Männer profitieren von richtig durchgeführtem Krafttraining. Der Körper wird definierter, Haut und Bindegewebe gestrafft. Die Muskulatur wird fest und der Fettanteil reduziert sich. Der Körper sieht sportlich und fit aus.The body becomes more defined, skin and connective tissue is tightened. The muscles become firm and the fat content is reduced. The body looks sporty and fit.
Muscular imbalances, which arise e.g. in everyday life, can also be corrected by strength training. The result is a functionally strengthened musculature, which also looks good on the side. Your back is stabilized and your pelvis is straightened by the firmer abdominal muscles. Your posture will be more upright and will positively influence the perception of your fellow men. You appear more active! Strength training also supports fat loss and contributes to a well-shaped body in the long run.
Positive effects on the musculoskeletal system
Regular strength training makes the muscles more efficient and makes our everyday life easier. Carrying water boxes, putting books away, carrying travel bags – everything becomes easier with functioning muscles. Strength training also increases bone density and strengthens tendons and ligaments, because training for the muscles also puts a strain on the supporting apparatus. Your bones, ligaments and tendons become noticeably more resistant and powerful. Strong trunk muscles stabilize the body and relieve the spinal discs.
Positive effects on injury susceptibility
The stronger the muscle body, the better your body is protected. Muscles stabilize ligaments and joints and make them more resistant to overloading and injuries. You can prevent osteoporosis, slipped discs and postural deformities by regular strength training.
Strength training for the upper body improves, for example, the supporting strength of the arms and shoulder girdle. This strength is important for absorbing falls and for supporting the body, but decreases considerably with age. This is another reason why falls in old age are so dangerous for many people.
Positive effects on the cardiovascular system
Regular strength training lowers blood pressure and protects the heart and vessels from overloading and wear and tear. Cholesterol levels also improve and support this process. Strength training also increases the body’s ability to absorb glucose and counteracts the development of diabetes type II.
Positive effects on fat reduction
The more muscles a person has, the more calories he burns – even at rest. About 60-75% of the energy consumption of our body is determined by the basal metabolic rate. Even small increases in the basal metabolic rate can therefore play a major role in weight loss and fat reduction. Experts estimate that the body uses about 50 calories more per kilo of muscle mass per day – ideal for long-term and
Positive effects on the aging process
Dwindling muscles are unfortunately also age-related. We lose 2.5kg to 3.5kg per decade of life and thus a lot of strength. However, if you keep yourself fit with targeted strength training, you counteract this process. Your bones, tendons and joints remain stable through consistent strength training and, together with a healthy cardiovascular system, you maintain your performance. You appear younger and more agile and remain independent for longer. Diabetes in old age and consequential damage from falls can be effectively prevented.
Conclusion
More and more people recognize the positive effects of a good and regularly executed strength training. Whether it is the holistic body toning or the strengthening of tendons and bones, the build-up of muscle power brings only advantages for the body, but also for the psyche. Those who train their strong backs will literally have it too and will appear more confident in many everyday situations.
