acute variables
Important components that specify how each exercise is to be performed; also known as exercise training variables.
repetition
refers to the amount of times a person performs a repeated movement within a single set
set
describes a group of repititions that are performed consecutively
training intensity
it relates to resistance training has been shown to substantially influence muscle hypertrophy and often argues as the single most important exercise in a workout.

12 - 20
how many sets should be performed for muscular endurance and stabilization
1 to 3 sets
what should be the intensity of stabilization and muscular endurance
low to moderate
how many reps should be performs for muscular hypertrophy
6 to 12
how many sets should be performed for muscular hypertrophy
3 to 6 set
what should the training intensity be for moderate to high training intensities
75 to 85 percent
what should the training repetitions be for maximal strength
1 to 5 repetitions
what should the amount of sets for maximal strength training be
4 to 6 sets
what should the intensity for maximal strength training be
85 to 100 percent
how many repetitions should be performed for power
1 - 10
how many sets should be performed for power
3 to 6 sets
what should the training intensity be for power training
10 percent of body weight when using a medicine ball. 30 to 45 percent when using weights
repetition tempo
relates to the rate at which each repetition is performed.
rest interval
is the time taken to recuperate between sets or exercises and has a dramatic effect on the outcome of the training program.
what is the amount of time taken for resistance training
30 to 60 seconds
what is the rest time for power
3 to 5 minutes
what is the rest times for a high intensity hypertrophic training
up to 185 seconds
what are the five components of fitness
cardiovascular endurance
muscular strength
muscular endurance
flexibility
body composition
what is training frequency
describes the total number of weekly training session.
what is the recommended frequency for a novice or a beginner lifter
