How are repetitions related to weight training for endurance?

Weight training intensity basically refers to how much weight you will be lifting and how heavy or light that weight is for you on a given exercise.

The lighter the weight/easier it is for you, the lower the intensity. The heavier the weight/harder it is for you, the higher the intensity.

And, all of this intensity stuff is usually predicted by one thing: how many reps you’re doing per set.

Reps (short for “repetitions”) are the number of times you move a weight from point A to point B during a set of an exercise. The lighter the weight, the more reps you will be able to lift it for. The heavier the weight, the fewer reps you’ll be able to lift it for.

Obvious, I know. But, as you can see, reps and intensity go hand in hand most of the time. Meaning…

The more reps you can lift a weight for = the lower your training intensity is.
The fewer reps you can lift a weight for = the higher your training intensity is.
The reason this is important to us is because certain levels of intensity are more ideal for certain goals than others (due to factors like time under tension, muscle fiber recruitment, etc.).

And this leads to an important question: what weight training intensity is best for your goal?

Or, to put it another way, how many reps should you do per set of an exercise? Let’s find out…

The lighter the weight, the more reps you will be able to lift it for. The heavier the weight, the fewer reps you'll be able to lift it for. Obvious, I know.

...

So, as you can see:

Lower reps (high intensity) is most ideal for increasing strength.

Higher reps (low intensity) is most ideal for improving muscle endurance.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which finding would first indicate that naloxone administration has been effective? Would be: An increase in respiratory rate from 8 to 12 rpm.

Explanation:

Narcotic drugs, especially heroine in large amounts (overdose) have the opposite effect to what they are usually meant for, which is excitatory. In overdoses heroine and other narcotid drugs will cause a CNS depression and therefore most body functions will be severely affected, as it is seen from the blood pressure and heart rate of this patient, as well as his/her respiratory rate. But most worrying of all is that heroine, as a depressant, can lead a patient to comatose states, and even total respiratory failure. Naloxone, the medication designed to revert the effects of several narcotic drugs, such as heroine, will first be seen in action with the increase in respiratory rate, as the depressive effects start to decrease. Other functions such as heart rate, blood pressure and levels of conciousness will start picking back up as the body gets rid of the substance. But Naloxone will first revert the depression on the respiratory centers in the brain.

Este tipo de liderazgo carece de imaginación y se basa en reglas,
Elina [12.6K]

El tipo de liderazgo que carece de imaginación y se basa en reglas arbitrariamente establecidas se conoce como liderazgo autocrático o autoritario. Este tipo de liderazgo generalmente no es eficiente.

El liderazgo es una práctica en la cual uno o más individuos ejercen una influencia sobre en un determinado grupo de personas con el fin de alcanzar metas preestablecidas.

Los tipos de liderazgo más comúnmente utilizados en las empresas y/o organizaciones incluyen el liderazgo democrático, autocrático, estratégico, transformacional, transaccional, y burocrático.

El liderazgo autocrático o de tipo autoritario se caracteriza porque el líder toma todas (o casi todas) las decisiones, con lo cual este tipo de liderazgo presenta muy poca participación de los miembros del grupo.

Está demostrado que es el liderazgo autocrático no es eficiente, ya que los miembros del grupo rinden por debajo de la media de su potencial bajo este tipo de liderazgo de corte autoritario.

El liderazgo debería idealmente ser una práctica fluida ya que esto ayuda al desarrollo armónico de las potencialidades de cada uno de los miembros del grupo.
