Strength Training Physiology

Meaning

Strength Training Physiology is the scientific discipline focused on the acute and chronic biological adaptations that occur in response to resistance exercise, encompassing muscular, skeletal, neural, and endocrine systems. This study examines how mechanical tension and metabolic stress trigger molecular signaling cascades that result in muscle hypertrophy, increased bone mineral density, and improved metabolic health markers. Understanding this physiology is paramount for designing effective and safe training protocols in a hormonal health context.
