How to control the intensity of strength training?

Nowadays, many parents pay more attention to their children's education. They not only pay attention to their children's mastery of scientific knowledge, but also pay attention to their children's physical strength training. Therefore, many people let their children participate in some Taekwondo or learn some martial arts when they are still relatively young. However, it should be noted that the intensity of strength training has certain limitations. So what should be the intensity of strength training? Let’s take a look together!

Intensity of strength training - RM • Intensity • Weight

The intensity and load of sports training are the key to training. In strength training, "RM repetition maximum" is conventionally defined as the load weight that can be repeatedly lifted a certain number of times. For example, "6-12RM" means "the weight that can be repeatedly or continuously lifted 6 to 12 times at most." For example, if you use 100 kg for bench press exercises, and you can only lift it five times in a row when you try your best, then this 100 kg is the weight of your 5RM for this exercise.

Intensity, or load intensity, is more abstractly referred to as "the depth of stimulation the load has on the body", and in layman's terms it refers to "the degree of effort the body exerts when completing a certain exercise". During exercise, the density, quality, difficulty, movement speed, and weight of exercises are all specific indicators of load intensity.

In strength training, exercise weight is generally regarded as the main indicator of load intensity. In practice, exercise weight is sometimes regarded as load intensity. Load intensity is a very important training factor in strength sports. The saying that 1 to 4 times are mainly for increasing absolute muscle strength and physical strength, 6 to 12 times are mainly for strengthening muscles, 15 to 20 times are mainly for developing small muscle groups and increasing the elasticity of muscle lines, and more than 30 times are mainly used to reduce body fat and enhance cardiopulmonary function is actually an expression of the fact that intensity determines the effect.

From the above, we can see that the intensity of strength training must be controlled well. If it is not controlled well, it may lead to some dangers and even cause muscle strain, which will cause profound stimulation to the body. Therefore, if you want your child to achieve the purpose of training, it is best to send him to a more professional place, and the coach must have certain professional knowledge.
