What is slow-speed strength training?
Slow-speed training is high-intensity circuit strength training, which emphasizes the slow, controlled lifting and lowering of a selected weight or resistance. The purpose of such training is to momentarily weaken the target musculature, thus stimulating positive physiological adaptations (increased strength, endurance, bone density, metabolism, etc…). By emphasizing slow, controlled repetition speeds and the maintenance of proper form and technique, each training session will safely provide the intensity necessary to maximize the known benefits of exercise.
