Muscular strength and endurance

1. Muscular Endurance : The ability of the muscles to repeat a movement many times or hold a position for a extended period of time without stopping to rest. Muscular Strength : The ability of the muscles to push , pull or strike with total force .

2. The potential benefits of muscular strength/endurance training include : Increased bone density Increased energy Increased lean body mass (muscles) Reduced stress Increased strength Increased mood Reduced risk of injury Increased stability Improves heart condition Reduced level of body fat

3. Muscular Strength/Endurance exercises include: Lifting weights (Bicep curls) Weight machines (Leg Press) Medicine balls (Slams) Fit Balls (back extensions) Bodyweight exercises (push-ups) Exercise bands (lateral steps) Anytime you work against resistance you are working your muscles so swimming, running, biking etc. would also work muscular strength and endurance but to a lesser degree than the other examples.

4. Major Muscle Groups: Arms Legs Chest Back Abs

5. Muscular Strength Uses muscles Makes me stronger Faster Tempo Low number of reps (4-8) Uses most or all of my strength Difficult weight/resistance 70-85% 1 rep max Muscular Endurance Uses muscles Makes me stronger Slower Tempo High number of reps (8-15) Uses some of my strength Easier weight/resistance 50-70% 1 rep max

6. Components of a muscular strength workout: 2-4 sets 4-8 reps 70-85% of 1 rep max 60-90 seconds Rest time 2-0-2 Tempo

7. Ways to increase your intensity level during muscular strength and endurance exercise. Increase sets Increase reps Increase weight/resistance Decrease rest time I ncrease exercise difficulty
