Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les exercices à résistances progressives regroupent tous les mouvements exécutés contre une résistance pouvant s'accroître au besoin. En augmentant la résistance, nous forçons le muscle à s'y adapter. Le muscle augmente ainsi sa capacité à vaincre des résistances de plus en plus grandes. [...] Pour accroître la vigueur musculaire, il est nécessaire de travailler avec une surcharge sans cesse croissante. 4, record 1, French, - appareil%20de%20musculation%20%C3%A0%20charges%20progressives
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Les haltères permettent d'augmenter graduellement la résistance en connaissant les charges ajoutées; avec des sacs de sable ou des blocs de ciment, il devient difficile d'augmenter les charges aussi progressivement. 4, record 1, French, - appareil%20de%20musculation%20%C3%A0%20charges%20progressives
