/Merger discussion

This article is a mess. Its like someone rushed to type it in 2 minutes. It NEEDS citations at least. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.163.246.69 (talk) 04:22, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Empirical Findings

There are lots of important and useful findings of resistance training research. These should be placed in Wikipedia. I need to read the research more thoroughly first Ashernm (talk) 19:32, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Science of Resistance Training

If someone wants to rewrite this to be a good article, they have a fantastic research article they could summarize: http://faculty.pepperdine.edu/mfeltner/Classes/SPME330/ps1.pdf Ywaz (talk) 18:32, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Basic principles section

Not sure the last paragraph of the "Basic principles" section is proper. I think that the information could still be relevant but needs to be re-worded.MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 22:18, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to strength training

This definition looks to be original research. It defines "resistance training" as a specific kind of strength training utilizing hydraulic or elastic resistance. Firstly, that is not the way the term is commonly used in literature whether academic or not. Secondly, what is the point of this distinction? It makes no difference to training where the resistance comes from, assuming it is applied in the same direction & resistance curve.

If no-one can give a good reason to keep, I will merge this article and its corresponding section into the main strength training article. ··gracefool☺ 08:13, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now but clean up and add citations showing significance and contributions. --Maniwar (talk) 14:52, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
