Maggie plans a workout for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday where she lifts weights that cover all of her major muscle groups. She will lift the most weight that she can handle and still control her form. Her plan is to do seven repetitions and three sets of each exercise. What would be the results after Maggie participated in this workout for more than six months?
Answer
A
Maggie would build muscular endurance because she has chosen a low number of sets.
B
Maggie would build muscular strength because of the weight sets and repetitions she has chosen.
C
Maggie would build muscular strength because she has chosen such a heavy weight.
D
Maggie would gain muscular endurance because of the amount of repetitions she is performing.
Explanation
A plan using a challenging weight for 7 repetitions and 3 sets is aimed at building muscular strength. Lower-repetition sets with heavier resistance generally emphasize strength, while higher repetitions with lighter resistance tend to emphasize muscular endurance. Therefore, the best answer is “Maggie would build muscular strength because of the weight sets and repetitions she has chosen.”
