A Comparison of Two Methods of raining on the Development of Muscular Strength and Endurance.
The purpose of this study was to compare the relative effectiveness of using traditional barbell equipment and Nautilus dynamic equipment on the development of muscular strength and endurance. The subjects, 22 college students, were pre and posttested on two 3-minute bouts of rhythmic isometric exercise. After pretesting, the subjects were assigned to two groups. For the next 5 weeks, all groups trained three times weekly, but one group trained using traditional barbell equipment and the second group used Nautilus dynamic equipment. Results indicated significant improvement as a result of training in both groups, but no significant differences were found between the two training methods or the groups by training interaction for any of the variables evaluated.
