Question 18 • (25-26) Orndorff -- PE 11/12 (Semester 2 course) 4th 9wks

If you want to increase your muscular endurance, which workout would be BEST suited to help you reach your goals?

Answer

a workout that uses five sets of five reps and works out each specific muscle group three times a week, treating every other day as a rest day

a workout that works out each muscle group each day, using high weight and low repetitions

a workout that uses three sets of 15 repetitions and works each muscle group four times a week, treating every other day as a rest day

a workout that isolates one muscle group a day, using low weight and low repetitions

Explanation

Muscular endurance is best developed with lighter resistance and more repetitions. Choice C uses three sets of 15 repetitions, which emphasizes doing repeated muscle contractions rather than lifting very heavy loads for just a few reps. The five sets of five in A and the high-weight, low-repetition plan in B are more focused on strength.
