The Bodily Trinity – Endurance
Endurance training exercise is the deliberate act of exercising to increase stamina and endurance. Day to day activities like carrying groceries to your home, and playing several sets of tennis require dynamic endurance.
Fitness exercises for endurance tend to be aerobic in nature versus an aerobic exercises. Aerobic exercise develops slow switch muscles. Performing these fitness exercises strengthens and elongates the muscles for preparation of extended periods of use. A muscle’s ability to remain contracted for a long period of time is called static muscle endurance. Endurance strength training is usually measured by the length of time you can hold a body position. For example using the pushup, if we measure the length of time a person can remain in the flexed arm position, we are in fact measuring static endurance. This means lowering the body in the pushup position until the arms are in a ninety-degree angle parallel to the floor and holding this position as long as possible. Some activities requiring static endurance include handstands and standing in line for hours for concert tickets or rides at the midway.
Benefits of Endurance Training
The main benefit of endurance strength training is to help the cardiovascular and muscle systems maintain their functions over time. This involves performing low to medium intensity fitness exercise over a long period of time.
Endurance strength training is very helpful for athletes training in long distance ports such as running or swimming. It is also important in everyday life to help with everyday activities such as house work and other chores.
Many people are interested in endurance strength exercise because they can take inches off of their bodily measurements. Usually some strengthening and some changes in body contour occur. Also, endurance strength exercises speed up metabolism, and your body burns calories at a higher rate for several hours after the endurance exercise. Muscular endurance strength exercise depends on the efficiency of the skeletal muscles and the nerves that control them. You can train for cardiovascular endurance by running. But if the leg muscles lack the muscular endurance to continue for more than a few minutes, you will not be able to run long enough to develop cardiovascular endurance.
It is also important to remember that the strength training program for muscular endurance should resemble the activity for which the endurance is needed. Performing muscular endurance strength exercises with upper body muscles will not help improve the endurance of the leg muscles. Probably the best training program is performing the sport skill repeatedly. Endurance Strength Exercise:
