One complete movement of a certain exercise is called which of the following?

• A. Set
• B. Circuit
• C. Rep
• D. Repetition

Answer: (D)

Understanding exercise terminology: a single complete motion of an exercise is called a repetition. When you lift through the full range of motion once, you’ve completed one repetition (often shortened to a rep in practice). If you do several repetitions in a row without stopping, those repetitions make up a set. A circuit describes a sequence of different exercises performed in succession, typically repeated as a loop rather than a single movement. The term rep is just shorthand for repetition, used interchangeably, but the phrasing “one complete movement” aligns most precisely with a repetition.
