This type of training is beneficial for people of all ages, from children and adolescents to older adults, and offers far reaching physical, mental, and functional health benefits.

For younger individuals, strength training can enhance muscle and bone development, improve posture, and boost sports performance. Contrary to outdated myths, properly supervised resistance training is safe for children and can help prevent injuries by strengthening muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It also promotes healthy growth, coordination, and confidence, teaching young people the importance of lifelong fitness habits.

For adults, regular strength training helps maintain muscle mass, which naturally declines with age, a condition known as sarcopenia.
