Resistance training is no longer a trend. It's a science-based method for improving health and performance, and it's here to stay. "The Physiology of Resistance Training" provides an in-depth examination of the physiological mechanisms underlying resistance training. This comprehensive book is primarily aimed at undergraduate and graduate students in exercise science and related disciplines, but it will also be invaluable to professionals in the fields of medicine, health, sports, and strength and conditioning.

• Skeletal Muscle Physiology
• The role of the nervous system in force production
• Acute and chronic training adaptations
• Mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy
• Factors influencing individual responses
