  • Facilities Guidance for WEIGHT TRAINING AREAS/GYMS 2 Planning a Weight Training Area Or Gym Or Fitness Room
    facilities guidance for WEIGHT TRAINING AREAS/GYMS 2 Planning a weight training area or gym or fitness room A weight training area or gym as it is commonly known, is really an area where the players in a rugby club or school can safely and productively complete planned resistance training programmes. Younger players or age grade players should ideally be supervised at all times when training in the gym. Adult players ideally require supervised and qualified supervision as well but some exceptions can be made for small group use of the gym for adult players. No player of any age or stage of development should use the gym facility on their own without qualified supervision. This brochure is intended to provide information and guidelines in terms of setting up a gym, the type of equipment that may be used, suggested layouts and some possible alternatives for a resistance training area for clubs that do not have a ready made and available area in their club. Setting up a gym There are four key factors that need to be addressed when considering setting up a gym; • The size and general nature of the facility • The range of resistance training programmes that will operate • The costs associated with the facility and the running of the programmes • Qualified staff to run the facility and programmes 3 Size and general nature of facility Size: Floor: Depending on the programmes that are to be The floor surface should be of a strong resilient undertaken the size of the facility can range from structure. A timber floor is not a good idea as weight a small room (7m x 7m or approx 50m2) to a disks and other resistance training items will fall to the comprehensive spacious area that can occupy an area floor and damage the surface.

  • Resistance Training
    Resistance Training Resistance training can be intimidating, especially for a beginner. The more equipped you are with knowing the basics of weight training, the more confident you will be with starting your program. Gaining muscle does not have to take hours of working out in the gym. If you maximize your time, you can work out for as little as 30 minutes per session and still get the results you are looking for! Benefits Major Muscle Groups • Increase strength • Chest (pectoralis) • Shoulders (deltoids) • Tone muscles • Decrease fat • Back (latissimus dorsi, trape- • Abdominals and obliques • Decrease muscle loss (due to aging or zius and rhomboids) • Front of thigh (quadriceps) inactivity) • Front of arm (biceps) • Improve quality of life • Back of thigh (hamstrings) • Back of arm (triceps) • Strengthen bones • Calves (gastronemius) Getting Started 1. For the first 4-6 weeks of training, choose a weight that will allow you to complete 12-15 repetitions with minimal fatigue. 2. Start with large muscle groups first. 3. Lift the weights slowly to maximize the effectiveness and decrease risk for injury. Your muscles and their stabilizers (tendons and ligaments) need to adapt to the training. 4. Make sure to use proper form and technique for the exercise. If you cannot use the correct form while lift- ing a weight, chances are, the weight is too heavy! 5. There is plenty of time to increase weight in the future. Your body will benefit more when you lift weights correctly. Muscle Progression Choose a weight or resistance in which you feel fatigue between 8-12 repetitions. Adequate resistance is needed for muscles to grow.

  • Effect of Progressive Calisthenic Push-Up Training on Muscle
    EFFECT OF PROGRESSIVE CALISTHENIC PUSH-UP TRAINING ON MUSCLE STRENGTH & THICKNESS A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Christopher Joseph Kotarsky In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Major Department: Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences March 2016 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title Effect of progressive calisthenic push-up training on muscle strength & thickness By Christopher Joseph Kotarsky The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Kyle Hackney, Ph.D. Chair Bryan Christensen, Ph.D. Jason Miller, MS Approved: 3/24/2016 Yeong Rhee, Ph.D. Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Calisthenics, a form of resistance training, continue to increase in popularity; however, few studies have examined their effectiveness for muscle strength improvement. The purpose of this study was to compare progressive calisthenic push-up training (PUSH) to free weight bench press training (BENCH) as techniques to develop muscle strength and thickness. Twenty-three healthy, moderately trained males (mean ± SD: age 23 ± 6.8 years) were randomly assigned to PUSH (n=14) and BENCH (n=9), and trained three days per week for four weeks. Muscle thickness, seated medicine ball put, one repetition max bench press (1RM), and push-up progression (PUP) were measured pre- and post-training. Results revealed significant increases in 1RM (p<0.001) and PUP (p<0.05) for both groups post-training. The increase in PUP, however, was significantly greater for PUSH (p<0.001).

  • Get in Shape with Little Or No Gear
    4/24/2020 Article Work-Life Register or Sign In Welcome Get in Shape with Little or No Gear One common barrier for people who want to get fit is a lack of money for gyms and/or home equipment. Well, if this is what is stopping you, you’re in luck. It takes no equipment to get a great workout and get in shape, and with one or two pieces of simple equipment, you can turn that great workout into a fantastic one. Plus, since little or no equipment is required, you can work out at home, or wherever you are and whenever it’s convenient for you. Bodyweight Exercises Using just your bodyweight, you can do a large number of challenging exercises. If you add just one or two pieces of equipment: a dumbbell, a kettlebell, a jump rope, a medicine ball, or a chin-up bar, for example, you can increase the challenge even more. Some benefits of bodyweight exercises include: 1. No gym fees or need to buy expensive equipment. 2. You can do the workout anywhere, anytime. 3. Most exercises involve many muscles working in coordination, resulting in great overall fitness and strength. 4. For people who are just starting with strength training, bodyweight is often more than enough to begin with. And it gives you a good foundation of strength you can build on later. Some limitations to bodyweight exercises include: 1. After a while (a couple months perhaps), they aren’t all that challenging. You’ll need to continue to build your strength by adding weights.

  • The Deadlift [PDF]
    The Deadlift by Tyler Goodale, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Canadian Sport Centre Pacific August 2008 The Deadlift The deadlift is one of the best all around exercises in a strength and conditioning coaches exercise tool box. You would be hard-pressed to find a single weight-training movement that is more complete than the deadlift. The deadlift effectively works: overall grip, core strength and the posterior chain (upper back to calves). As great a training lift as the deadlift is, it is also possibly one of the most difficult compound lifts to learn. It is extremely important for both proper results and injury prevention that an athlete be sure they are always using proper technique. The following will provide a step by step guide to proper deadlifting technique: Step 1: Step up to the barbell so that the bar covers the second shoe lace up from the tip of your shoe. Always make sure to use full sized training plates when learning the deadlift as full -sized plates will ensure you start in a proper lifting position. If you do not have access to bumper plates of various weights to do this, you can create a starting platform by stacking weight plates under the plates on the bar till the bar is in a proper starting position. Step 2: Lower yourself to the bar by keeping your chest high while pushing your hips back. Imagine someone is pulling you backward from the waist. Keep the low back naturally rounded, do not curve the spine to get down to the bar. Sitting to your heels will help you push the hips back.
