Muscle Recovery Time Most workout enthusiasts will tell you that muscle recovery time is about 48 hours. But it is not quite as simple as that; the recovery time ought to depend on the number of sets you do involving the muscle group in question. For example, if you do no sets of biceps exercises, then the recovery time for your biceps is (of course) zero. Let’s assume that if you do three sets of exercises on a muscle group, then its recovery time is 48 hours. Use these data to write a linear function that gives the recovery time (in hours) in terms of the number of sets affecting a particular muscle. Use this model to calculate how long it would take your biceps to recover if you did 15 sets of curls. Comment on your answer with reference to the usefulness of a linear model.
