Resistance Training Adaptation

Meaning

Resistance Training Adaptation is the collective set of chronic physiological and structural changes that occur in the musculoskeletal and endocrine systems in response to repeated bouts of mechanical loading. This adaptive process is the biological basis for increased muscle strength, hypertrophy, and improved bone mineral density. In hormonal health, it is recognized as a powerful, non-pharmacological modulator of metabolic function and insulin sensitivity.
