One objective of muscular endurance training is to work the targeted muscle to fatigue in the end range of the anaerobic energy system. For most people, this requires an exercise set that continues for about 75-100 seconds. Given a training speed of 6 seconds per rep, this is a range of 12-16 controlled reps.

Therefore it is recommended that training intensity for muscular endurance be between 60-70% of maximum resistance.
