Well-developed muscles help prevent injuries. Without strength, nothing works in everyday life. A certain amount of muscle strength is a prerequisite for performing all movements.

Strength training describes physical training with the aim of improving motor strength abilities. The decisive factor is the use of muscular strength.

Strength training involves sporting exercises that require the athlete to use at least 50% of his or her maximum strength. Only then is the muscle stimulus given to bring about physiological adaptations in the sense of strength training.
