resistance exercise

THE TELOMERE EFFECTを読んでいます。
運動は健康に良いと言われていますが、ある種の運動は "telomerase" を増やすので、 "telomere" が長くなり、細胞の寿命が長くなることが分かって来たようです。

Two kinds of exercise stood out. Moderate aerobic endurance exercise, performed three times a week for forty-five minutes at a time, for six months, increased telomerase activity twofold. So did high-intensity interval training (HIIT), in which short bursts of heart-pounding activity are alternated with periods of recovery. Resistance exercise had no significant effect on telomerase activity (although it had other benefits; the researchers concluded that "resistance exercise should be complementary to endurance training rather than a substitute").
"resistance exercise" は筋肉に負担をかける運動の様ですが、辞書に説明があるか確認します。OneLookの検索では次の辞書以外 "resistance exercise" の項目を設けている辞書はありませんでした。
・Medical Dictionary: Exercise in which a muscle contraction is opposed by force to increase strength or endurance. If the resistance is applied by using weights, it is mechanical resistance; if applied by a clinician, it is manual resistance.
しかし、Google検索では "resistance exercise" を説明するサイトは幾つもありましたので "resistance exercise" は一般用語になっている様です。
