Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to perform cyclic dynamic contractions over an extended period of time. Basically, the contractions are against some resistance. I will enumerate and give a clear view about how to enhance the muscle endurance within you in this piece of writing.
The three forms of muscular endurance are:
Repetitive dynamic contraction – Example Boat rowing, bicycling, running, etc
Continuous tension – Example Yoga and Meditation
Prolonged intense contraction – Football, Basketball, etc
Muscle fibers are put into two forms namely fast twitch and slow twitch fibers. They are categorized on the basis of contraction speed and the fatigue rate. The slow twitch muscles’ contract speed is quite low when compared to the fast twitch muscles. The slow twitch muscles are relatively fatigue resistant. Muscle endurance is usually acquired by the slow twitch muscles. For instance, let’s consider football, volleyball or hockey. Here, continuous oscillation of legs is required.
The athletes need to possess a balanced muscular endurance otherwise, it is sure, they tire in the mid of the game. Here, the muscular endurance is needed in the legs to sustain the direction changes, quick acceleration, quick stops, hops, jumps, recovery and so on. The aerobic hold is acquired by few training programs. Various activities like jogging, swimming, walking and bicycling (repeated continuous dynamic contraction of muscles) enhance your muscle endurance. Aerobics are also utilized for endurance for your muscles. It aids in enriching the aerobic capacity within oneself.
To conclude, muscle endurance acts to improve the cardiovascular system, muscular strength and hence a perfect fit and strong body.
