Which measurement and study protocol do you consider reliable to test muscle endurance in old individuals?

08 April 2013 1 9K Report

I am very intrigued about the lack of information about how to test muscle endurance.

Dear Sena

Actually there are some tests for the evaluation of the muscular endurance of elderly subjects (example: Rikli RE; Jones CJ. Senior Fitness Test Manual. Human Kinetics. Champaign, IL). However, another interesting option is that you perform a test of strength and, using a given percentage of the obtained result, perform the test of maximum repetitions.
