Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to determine if groups of female subjects with diverse initial muscular endurance levels differed in amount and rate of muscular endurance development, and to determine the relationship between the initial level of muscular endurance and the amount of muscular endurance development during a four-week conditioning program. Twenty-seven women from the freshman physical education major class at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro participated in the four-week conditioning program on the bicycle ergometer. The subjects were divided into three groups (high, medium, low) based on their initial riding time. Analyses of variance were used to determine if there were any significant differences between the mean changes in pedaling time of the three groups for each week. Also, for each group of subjects, t-tests were calculated using the initial pedaling time scores and the fourth week mean pedaling time scores to determine if there were significant changes in pedaling time during the four-week training program. Correlation coefficients were calculated using the initial pedaling time scores and the difference between the initial pedaling time scores and the mean scores of each week for the entire group of subjects to see if there were any relationships between the initial scores and the improvement scores for each week.
