1. Define Muscular Fitness

Muscle fitness means having muscles that can lift heavier objects or muscles that will
work longer before becoming exhausted. Muscle fitness improves when a person does activities
that build or maintain muscles (strength) or that increase how long a person can use his or her
muscles (endurance).

2. Name the 2 ways to measure muscular strength

 Isometric – muscle action when tension is produced but there is no change in the length
of the muscle (ie., hand grip dynometer)
 Isotonic – muscle action in which a muscle shortens or lengthens with varying tension
and velocity while overcoming a constant resistance throughout ROM (ie., bench press)

3. Cite tips to improve muscular fitness

 warm up and cool down - Before beginning any sort of physical activity, it’s crucial to
spend 10-20 minutes warming up
 stretch - Spending 10-15 minutes stretching your main muscle groups can drastically
muscle tears.
 Diet - What you eat greatly impacts the health of your muscles. 
 Hydrate - Staying hydrated is important for overall health, including blood flow, kidney
function, and digestive functions.
 Exercise - Exercise is very important for maintaining muscle health.
 Resistance training with rubber tubing or stretchable bands.

4. Enumerate the benefits of strength training

 Makes you stronger and fitter.


 Protects bone health and muscle mass.
 Helps keep the weight off for good.
 Helps you develop better body mechanics.
 Helps with chronic disease management.
 Boosts energy levels and improves your mood.
