Accommodating resistance

Accommodating resistance is a strength training technique that changes the resistance during an exercise to match the natural strength curve of the muscle. For example, elastic bands or chains are added to traditional weights, making the load lighter at the weakest points and heavier at the strongest points of a movement. This ensures the muscles are challenged throughout the full range of motion, promoting better strength development and reducing the risk of injury. Essentially, it adapts the resistance to maximize effectiveness and efficiency during training.
