Original: See the resistance training article for information about elastic\/hydraulic training, but note that the terms "strength training" and "resistance training" are often used interchangeably.
Simplified: Strength training differs from bodybuilding, weightlifting, powerlifting, and strongman, which are sports rather than forms of exercise, although training for them totally depends on strength training. Many other sports use strength training as a part of their training regimen, notably football, lacrosse, basketball, hockey and track and field.
