Strength training with large machines
Strength - or more precisely muscle strength - is a prerequisite for all human movement, especially for sport. It has long been known that targeted strength training already has significant positive effects. The increase in strength is primarily due to the improvement in intra- and inter-muscular coordination.
In general, it can be assumed that under normal living conditions, the skeletal muscles of healthy adults begin to lose performance after the 2nd to 3rd decade of life. The loss of skeletal muscle mass is the most noticeable change in skeletal muscle. It begins around the mid-twenties. By the age of 80, around 50% of muscle mass has been lost.
Strength training with large machines is ideal for building muscle and improving general health, which can usually be found in a gym. We show how these can be used effectively and safely for older people.
In this section of the senior trainer course, we focus specifically on the large machines. Equipment-assisted strength training is very popular with newcomers to strength training as well as senior citizens and rehabilitation patients. It also has many advantages over training with small equipment. The equipment guides the trainee precisely in the correct execution of exercises and isolates the individual muscle groups. This means that even beginners in weight training can work on a specific muscle group and be sure that the exercises are performed correctly, as there is less room for error with large equipment.
It is also more effective as the exercises can be performed with more weight and in a wider range. Participants learn the correct technique for performing all exercises on the equipment, they are confronted with the most common mistakes and can train older people on the equipment flawlessly after the training.
