Document Summary
Repetitions- the # of times an exercise is performed, during one set, without resting. Set: the number of reps performed consecutively without resting; the completion of one exercise activity. Repetitive maximum (rm)- 1, 3, 10 etc. - the maximal load that an individual can lift, over a given number of reps, before fatiguing. Intensity- tension or stress on muscle group is dependent on # reps/ # sets/ rest between sets. Muscular strength- force exerted in one max effort. Muscular endurance- ability to perform work by continuing to lift sub-maximal load. Strength-endurance relationship- stronger muscle will have greater ability to generate endurance than a weaker muscle. Absolute strength-the maximum force an athlete can exert with his or her whole body irrespective of body size or muscle size. Example of absolute strength as it relates to endurance a is stronger than b(25lbs more for 1rm) a will go longer due to increased strength.
