HOW DO YOU IMPROVE MUSCULAR
ENDURANCE ?
CIRCUIT TRAINING is a good example of how
to improve muscular endurance.
Another example is weight training. Here
lighter weights are used but a higher number
of repetitions are carried out.
REPETITIONS AND SETS form the basis of
training to improve both muscular strength and
endurance.
A REPETITION is one exercise of a particular
movement.
A SET is a number of repetitions of a
particular exercise.
In a training programme you might do :
3 sets of each exercise:
e.g. 3 sets of 10 bench presses using 20kg
