Document Summary
Strength, power and endurance training: upper-body strength required to restrain and move people is a necessary part of law enforcement. Push-pull machine, arm-restraint device, 80-lb bag carry, 150-lb body drag, etc: with proper training, everyone has the potential to be successful. But you need to train to be successful. The benefits of resistance training: muscles gain strength, muscle fibres increase in size. Increase in bone mineral density: higher resting metabolic rate. Includes any type of exercise that requires the muscles to move, or attempt to move, against an opposing force. Trains two components of the body: the muscles and the central nervous system (cns) Basic principles of weight training: overload principle, general adaptation, muscular strength, power, and muscular endurance. Plyometrics: when doing structural and multi-joint exercises, rest 2 4 minutes between sets, when isolating muscle groups or doing single-joint exercises, rest 1 2 minutes between sets.
