Current evidence supports the use of resistance training as an independent method to prevent, treat, and potentially reverse the impact of numerous chronic diseases. With physical inactivity one of the top risk factors for global mortality, a variety of worldwide initiatives have been launched, and resistance training is promoted by numerous organisations. An evidence-based guide, this book presents an in-depth analysis of the independent and positive effects of resistance training on the prevention, management, and treatment of many chronic conditions. Written by some of the world’s leading exercise physiologists and resistance training experts, the chapters provide detailed descriptions of the benefits of resistance training for specific clinical populations, including guidelines on how to construct a tailored resistance training prescription. Chapters cover resistance training to treat cardiovascular disease, metabolic diseases, cancer, orthopedic diseases, neuromuscular disorders, and more.
