What is the number of training days that must occur per week for strength to be maintained, assuming that load is maintained?
a. two
b. one
c. three
d. four
e. none of these
Answer: b. one
One is correct because as long as the training intensity ore resistance lifted is maintained at the current level, only one training session per week is needed to maintain previous strength levels. Of course, this is muscle specific; therefore, all muscles must be trained in the weekly session.
