Abstract
Abstract Male university students (N = 53) participated three times weekly in a 7-week training program. During each session, one all-out bout of right elbow flexion was performed on an arm-lever ergometer at a cadence of 40 repetitions per minute against a 9.60-lb. resistance. Following training, the subjects were randomly divided into three experimental groups and stopped training for 1, 3, or 5 weeks. Upon completion of the inactivity periods, a retention test was administered. The data analysis revealed that all groups enhanced their muscular endurance levels during training and retained a significant amount of the endurance acquisition following the inactivity periods. No appreciable amount of muscular endurance was lost as a result of the 1-week inactivity period, but curtailment of training for at least 3 weeks caused a significant decrement. The 3- and 5-week inactivity periods did not differ significantly, but both resulted in greater endurance decrements than did the 1-week layoff.
