That way you can see both sides of the debate and make an informed decision. To that end, I would recommend you read the article that the quote above comes from. I think it’s important to be relaxed in your opinions and open to the ideas of others. As soon as you declare something to be an absolute certainty someone will find evidence to the contrary. This appears to be the case with RT, and once again I would urge people to remember that nothing is set in stone with physiotherapy or exercise science. A number of people are adamant they shouldn’t be used for rehab despite extensive research showing they have a role. Regular readers might remember we had a similar issue with the use of side-lying exercises for glutes. These arguments may be valid but I’ve never seen them presented with any research evidence to support them. The arguments against RT usually centre around a few points suggesting it isn’t functional, can negatively affect performance and may reduce activity of stability muscles. Some go as far as saying “performing weights using a machine should NEVER be done by any runner.” Many people believe that RT isn’t helpful for distance runners and can even have a negative impact on performance.
RT and distance running hasn’t always had an easy relationship.
