Book Chapter Description

Recent classifications of resistance training methods classify them in gravitational, to move the resistance we will have to apply an acceleration greater than the force of the gravity (9.81 m·s), and non-gravitational methods that allow us to work in multiple directions, not being exclusively conditioned by gravity. Bodyweights training, also known as calisthenic exercise; Free-weights training, weight lifting through barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells; inertial devices, how flywheel devices that an active stretch, while trying to brake an external resistance that exceeds the capacity of the muscle; and external resistance variable resistance, where resistance varies throughout range of motion are, among others, the main methods of resistance training currently. In this chapter, a contextualization of them will be carried out, exposing those essential aspects that it is necessary to know from a practical application and allowing the reader to understand the following chapters where each of them will be addressed in depth.
