The strength training is an essential tool for   rehabilitation of patients and also   as component of fitness hence it becomes  important for a  therapist to understand  the strength development potential of various regimes available . This study   is performed as a Pretest-posttest experimental research design. 50 subjects were included and were randomly assigned to one of the treatment group: Delorme group and Dapre group.  Strengthening   Regimen was conducted for a period of 6 weeks in both the groups. One repetition maximum was the outcome measure . this was  assessed at baseline    reassessed  at the end of 6 weeks. A  paired t-test was used to evaluate results within the group. Students’s t test was used for between the group analysis. the results of the study shows significant improvement in one repetition maximum with Delorme as well as the DAPRE group. DAPRE group shows statistically significant effects on strength gains on between group analysis (t =   p_<0.01). Within the group both the groups were significantly effective in one repetition maximum after the intervention (p_<0.01). The study concluded that Daily Adjustable Progressive Resistive Exercise (DAPRE) is recommended as it is having sustained effects at follow up.

Key words:  One repetition maximum, Delorme regimen, DAPRE regimen
