Do you play sports or do a physical activity on a regular basis? Perhaps you cycle, ski, dance, play hockey or tennis or compete in martial arts. Whatever your sport, and your level of participation, you might want to consider adding some strength training to your program.
Strength training is beneficial for most people, whether they play sports or not, but for the recreational or professional athlete it is that much more important to add it to your conditioning program. With regular strength training you will find that your sport performance becomes better and more efficient. Here are a few reasons why athletes should strength train:

There was no caption necessary to this cartoon as it most effectively illustrated how a young athlete was modeling himself after his coach, trying to keep up in his footsteps. | |
