Correct planning of physical activities ensures efficiency and reduces the risk of injury due to excesses. Many people have the erroneous impression that you always need high intensity workout in order to develop your body (Wilmore and Costill, 1999). Planning the density of your workout, along with other effort’s parameters, plays an important role in the success of weight training workouts. The major objective of this study was the analysis of workout density from the methodological standpoint. This workout density was assessed including people who participated at weight training during their leisure time. As a secondary objective, we built a benchmark index for objective quantification of workout density that is specific for weight training. The vast majority of practitioners have included in their training sessions a number of exercises between 6 and 10 (61.25%) and a number of sets between 11 and 40 (88.75%), with the highest percentage between 21 and 30 sets (36.25%). The density of sets per exercise was calculated by reporting the number of sets to number of exercises. We have thus obtained a set/exercise index (Is/e) between 1.25 and 5.75.Comparing the overall duration of each workout to the number of sets we obtained a density per workout index (IDA) between 0.75 and 9.
