REPETITION METHOD

MEANING OF REPETITION METHOD

• A repetition can be defined as one complete movement
of a particular exercise. Repetitions are simply a
means to count the number of exercise movements
performed in a given amount of time.

• Changing the tempo of repetitions directly affects the

amount of time that the muscles are kept under
tension.
• The total time that the muscles are under tension
during exercise determine what response they will
have from the training program.

• For example, maximal muscle strength is best

achieved by performing 1-5 repetitions, muscle size is
best achieved by performing 8-12 repetitions, and
muscle endurance is best achieved by performing 12-
25 repetitions.
• The repetition method is characterised by high
intensity (90-100%) of work with intervals of
complete recovery. It is the best method for the
improvement of speed abilities including speed
endurance. In endurance training, the repetition
method is used to improve components or factors
of specific endurance or of anaerobic capacity.
