Mike and Pat are back talking about resistance training for muscle endurance. A key distinction when talking about endurance is between absolute and relative endurance. Absolute endurance tests the same load at pre-intervention and post-intervention, while relative endurance tests the same % of load (ex. 60% 1RM) at pre and post. A key takeaway is that it is easier to see changes in absolute endurance measures than relative measures. While this is useful to know, it is hard to find many good clinical takeaways.
