Current evidence supports the use of resistance training as an independent method to prevent, treat, and potentially reverse the impact of numerous chronic diseases. With physical inactivity one of the top risk factors for global mortality, a variety of worldwide initiatives have been launched, and resistance training is promoted by numerous organizations including the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Despite this, most books do not provide a detailed focus on resistance training. An up-to-date and comprehensive resource, Resistance Training for the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Disease is an evidence-based guide that presents an in-depth analysis of the independent and positive effects that can result from resistance training. Written by some of the world's leading exercise physiologists and resistance training researchers and experts, the chapters provide detailed descriptions of the benefits of resistance training for specific clinical populations. They also include guidelines on how to construct a tailored resistance training prescription for each population when appropriate. The book covers resistance training for effective prevention or treatment of numerous diseases including cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, renal failure, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, fibromyalgia, stroke, depression and anxiety, pulmonary disease, HIV/AIDS, and orthopedic disease. The authors also address resistance training for older adults and for children and adolescents Front Cover 1 Contents 6 Preface 8 Acknowledgments 10 Editors 12 Contributors 14 Chapter 1: Introduction 16 Chapter 2: Resistance Training Program Variables and Guidelines 20 Chapter 3: Resistance Training for Cardiovascular Disease 38 Chapter 4: Resistance Exercise Interventions across the Cancer Control Continuum 60 Chapter 5: Effects of Resistance Training on Insulin Sensitivity and Glycemic Control: Potential Role in the Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes 80 Chapter 6: Resistance Training in Chronic Renal Failure 96 Chapter 7: Beneficial Effects of Progressive Resistance Training in Multiple Sclerosis 118 Chapter 8: Resistance Training for Parkinson’s Disease 132 Chapter 9: Resistance Training for Fibromyalgia 146 Chapter 10: Resistance Training after Stroke 164 Chapter 11: Effects of Resistance Training on Depression and Anxiety 180 Chapter 12: Progressive Resistance Training for Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 196 Chapter 13: Benefits of Resistance Training for HIV/AIDS 224 Chapter 14: Resistance Training for Individuals with Orthopedic Disease and Disability 234 Chapter 15: Resistance Training for Older Adults 254 Chapter 16: Resistance Training for Children and Adolescents 276 Back Cover 294 "Resistance training is a form of strength training in which each effort is performed against a specific, opposing force generated by resistance.
