The high-intensity training system is not a highly advanced method of strength training, as it is sometimes perceived. It is simply a matter of maximizing the benefits of weight training by increasing the intensity at which one performs the exercises, and by maximizing the body's capacity to lift more during the negative contraction.

Persons with disabilities can attain the same benefits from high-intensity training that anyone else can. The only contraindications would be those specific to the disability, and these should be discussed with a physician.
