Weight training has a similar objective to
Circuit training
- ie to improve the bodies capability to cope with the stresses involved
with running and to improve performance through increased strength and power.
The difference between the two techniques is that whilst circuits are
aimed at increasing performance through endurance improvments, with weight training we are
looking to increase the maximum capacity of our bodies strength. This is a
bit of a generalisation as there is a cross-over between the two, but the
sentiment is not far wrong.
Weight training involves the use of either fixed weights or free weights to provide the resistance
for the body to work against.
