It was invented and popularized in the past decade by the creators of various

18、weight-training programs, particularly P90X.P90X advises participants to adjust their routines all the time, threading in different combinations of exercises and rarely, if ever, repeating any particular workout.

19、d muscles and prevent them from getting into a settled state or reaching a training plateau (a time of little change after a period of progress). Instead, our muscles supposedly will respond to the unfamiliar demands of the workouts by continuing to adapt.That idea has some appeal and many supporter

23、questionnaire.The researchers then compared results and, quite unexpectedly, found that it is no easy job to make muscles feel confused since overall the mens gains in muscular size and strength were almost exactly the same. Our muscles are not discouraged or bored by unvarying routines, says Brad S

Those men completing the ever-changing workouts reported showing more enthusiasm for exercise at the studys end than the other group. “The differences in drive scores at the end were significant,” he sa
