How should the number of sets be adjusted for a client performing a specific exercise?

The approach to adjusting the number of sets for a client performing a specific exercise focuses on ensuring that the client is progressively challenged while maintaining movement quality. Increasing the number of sets can be beneficial as it allows for greater volume and intensity in training, promoting strength gains, endurance, and overall performance.

When movement quality improves, it indicates that the client is capable of handling more demands from the exercise. This improvement suggests that the client has developed the necessary motor patterns, strength, and coordination to safely perform more repetitions. Therefore, increasing the number of sets becomes a progressive method to enhance training stimuli, leading to further adaptation and results.

Other considerations, such as a client's level of fatigue during exercise, can inform adjustments in training, but the primary focus should be on the quality of movement. Maintaining quality is crucial for avoiding injury and ensuring that the exercise is effective. Age can also play a role in training parameters but doesn’t automatically dictate the number of sets without considering the individual's overall fitness level and experience with the exercise. Remaining adaptable and responsive to the client’s performance and capabilities is essential in corrective exercise practices.
