Effect Of Short-Term Failure Versus Nonfailure Training On Lower Body Muscular Endurance, Jeffrey Willardson, John Emmett, Jon A. Oliver, Eadric Bressel
Faculty Research and Creative Activity
This study compared failure versus nonfailure training with equated intensity and volume on lower body muscular endurance in trained men. Methods: Each subject performed one lower body workout per week for 6 weeks; the Failure group performed 3 sets of the squat, leg curl, and leg extension exercises to the point of voluntary exhaustion, while the Nonfailure group performed 4 sets for each of these exercises, but with a submaximal number of repetitions that did not allow failure to occur on any set. All subjects performed a pre- and postintervention muscular endurance test that involved 3 sets each for the …
