Weight Training is a method of improving muscular strength,
endurance, and flexibility using any one of a variety of weight
training apparatus. Physiologists agree that the best way to
develop strength is by a combination of isotonic and isometric
muscular contraction while others agree that isokinetic muscular
contraction is best. The question consistently arises as to
which weight training program is the best to use in developing
gains of strength and flexibility.
The purpose of this study was to investigate strength and
flexibility development as each is affected by three training
programs using two apparatuss the Exer-Genie and the Super-
Mini-Gym.
Thirty subjects were matched into three groups using
McCloy's Age-Height-Weight Classification Index. All subjects
participated in track and field while under going the six week
supplementary weight training programs. Group I used the
Super-Mini-Gym apparatus and Group II used the Exer-Genie
device on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays performing the leg
press, curls, and the bench press. Group III served as the
control group. The beginning number of sets and repetitions
