A strength training technique called autoregulatory progressive resistance exercise (APRE) in which athletes increase strength by progressing at their own pace provides better results than standard techniques in which resistance is steadily increased, reports a study in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning, official research journal of the National Strength and Conditioning Association. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading provider of information and business intelligence for students, professionals, and institutions in medicine, nursing, allied health, and pharmacy.



"For the strength coach or practitioner who must demonstrate the greatest strength and strength-endurance gains during short-duration training cycles, APRE training is effective," according to the new study by J. Bryan Mann, M.Ed., C.S.C.S., and colleagues of University of Missouri, Columbia.
