Volume is also called duration and expresses how much work in terms of what?

• A. Distance and time
• B. Distance, time, number of sessions per week, number of sets/reps, and amount of lifted weight
• C. Pace
• D. Calories burned

Answer: (B)

Volume represents the total amount of work you perform in training, and it can be described using multiple measures depending on the activity. It includes how far you go (distance) and how long you train (time), as well as how often you train (number of sessions per week), and, in resistance work, how much you lift (sets, reps, and the amount of weight). Pace is about speed, not the total amount of work, and calories burned is energy expenditure influenced by many factors rather than a direct measure of work performed. This combination of distance, time, frequency, and load best captures the overall volume.
