Question

Which of the following is specifically employed in a resistance training workout in order to develop muscular endurance of the legs?

Select one:
a. Exercises that involve high loads and long rest periods between sets.
b. Exercises that involve low repetitions and high loads.
c. Exercises that involve light weights and high repetitions.
d. Low-load, high-velocity contractions performed in a plyometric manner.

Answer 1

c. Exercises that involve light weights and high repetitions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Light weight and high repetition training is excellent for producing defined and lean muscles without added bulk. Hence, the muscle endurance increases because longer-looking muscles needs less power to contract and low weights used in resistance training allows higher repetitions. High repetition rate allows rapid muscle shaking and burns more calories. Moreover, light weight resistance training allows to perform movement of muscles to the full range of motion with precision. Hence, muscles are longer-looking without additional lean mass and also develops endurance.
