Which form of resistance training maximizes the amount of time spent working out and minimizes “wasting” time on rest?
  1. Pyramids
  2. Circuit-training
  3. Horizontal loading
  4. Vertical loading
Explanation
Answer - D - Vertical loading maximizes the amount of time spent working out and minimizes “wasting” time on rest. This works because when finished with the exercise for the chest, for example, the participant can move on to working the abdominals without a rest or recovery period. Since the next exercise is not focusing on the chest, it allows for the chest to recover, but not standing idle between exercises.
