Tiivistelmä
Majority of modern women participate in sports and physical activity in one or another form. Common misconceptions and beliefs act as a barrier for females to engage in one of the most beneficial training styles, namely weight training. This thesis provides scientifically approved information regarding the effects of weight training on the female body. Commissioning party for the thesis is Myötätuuli. Target group for this work are the female clients of the commissioning party. The aim is to educate the target group in regards to weight training and motivate them to engage in it safely with the help of exercise technique videos and PowerPoint presentations.
The theoretical framework of the thesis report discusses the functional units of the skeletal mus-cle as well as the neuromuscular and hormonal responses which are evident in the female body due to weight training in short term and long term. Important matters regarding safety, recovery from training and sleep are also covered. The product which is developed for the commissioning party includes 10 exercise technique videos which cover the most basic and common exercises in weight training as well as three educational Power Point presentations which cover the theoret-ical information included in the thesis report.
The thesis process started after signing a commissioning agreement with Myötätuuli in October 2017 and finished in April 2018.
