not sure the dictionary definition but essentailly its anything that increases muscle mass in the body. and yes people who have more muscle mass do have a higher metabolism. which i why many people recomend it to help reduce body fat.

Not exactly true. Training specifically for strength can mean increasing the ability of the muscle you already have to handle a heavier amount of weight- Without gaining more mass. With the right diet and training, it's possible for someone small to lift inordinately heavy amounts. Google lightweight powerlifter, see what you come up with- Some impressive stats for some small people. It's sick when you think about the potential of muscle- I outweigh some of these people by sixty pounds or more, and yet they can lift way more than me- How is it possible? Because we can essentially "teach" the muscle we already have to handle more and more weight with the right training, etc.
