A set of definitions exists in the Senate ESEA bill written and voted out of the HELP Committee (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions).
Reps and sets are terms used by exercise professionals, athletes and individuals in the gym. They provide structure and organization to your workout. If you work with a personal trainer or physical therapist, she will prescribe an exercise based on a specific number of sets and reps.
REPs was developed to protect the public from âcowboy trainersâ who do not hold appropriate qualifications. As well as protecting the public, REPs was also established to recognise the qualifications and skills of exercise professionals. Membership is priced at Â£40 (including VAT) per annum.
