Strength training gets rid of listlessness
That old excuse "I've no energy left to go training" has been scientifically disproven years ago. Sports scientists at the University of Georgia did an experiment with fourteen women and discovered that weight training actually gives you energy.
Energy
Study
Every eleven minutes the researchers asked their subjects how tired or energetic they felt. They did the same again 20 and 30 minutes after the training session had finished.
Results
Training with light weights was better for getting rid of tiredness than the serious stuff, but even the heavy training session gave the women a subjective feeling of more energy than it had cost them.
The researchers also asked the women how strong and energetic they felt. The responses here indicated that the heavy training had a slightly greater effect than the light training, shown in the figure below.
