strengthening exercises
Resistance training movements
Strengthening exercises are physical activities designed to build muscle power and endurance, typically involving resistance—weights, bands, or body weight.
The term appears frequently in medical and fitness contexts: The physical therapist prescribed strengthening exercises for her knee.
Distinct from cardio or flexibility work, these exercises target specific muscle groups to increase their capacity.
