Answer: D -5-7 repetitions is the “ideal” maximum number of repetitions in set 4.

According to the DAPRE technique, the first step is to determine the initial working weight followed by repetitions according to the various set levels.
Set 1 - 10 repetitions of ½ of the working weight.
Set 2 - 6 repetitions of ¾ of the working weight.
Set 3 - as many repetitions as possible with full working weight.
Set 4 - as many repetitions as possible with adjusted working weight. However, the “ideal” maximum number of repetitions (i.e. when the patient is asked to perform as many as repetitions as possible) is 5-7.
