    Muscular Endurance

    Uploaded by

    Grantt Christian
    Muscular endurance is the ability of muscles to repeatedly contract against resistance for an extended period of time. It allows you to perform physical tasks for longer durations. To build endurance, aim for 12 or more repetitions of an exercise using a weight that fatigues your muscles. Train regularly with 3 sets per muscle group, slowly increasing weight, reps, or reducing rest periods over time. Common exercises to improve endurance include planks, pushups, squats, situps, and walking lunges.

    Muscular Endurance

    What is muscular endurance


    Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of
    muscles to perform repetitive contractions against a force for an
    extended period of time. The greater your muscular endurance
    the higher number of repetitions you could complete.
    Do you need muscular
    endurance?
    By building muscular endurance you will be able to
    perform physical tasks for a longer period. Whilst strength
    allows you to lift a force, endurance allows you to
    continue doing this over time.
    How to increase muscular endurance?
    Weight training
    -aim to complete a movement for at least 12 repetitions. If your
    muscles are exhausting sooner, then the weight is too heavy and
    you are building strength not endurance. You can use either
    machines or free-weights to improve your muscular endurance.
    Exercise slowly and controlled
    -Avoid jerky movements and throwing the weights about.
    Lower the resistance slowly when training through the complete
    range of motion.
    Regular exercise
    -If you want to improve endurance you need to train on a regular
    basis. Ideally on a daily basis. Work on completing the minimum 12
    reps, taking a short rest and then repeating for at least 3 sets on each
    major muscle group.
    Challenge the body
    – you need to ensure it doesn’t become too easy. When comfortable
    performing repetitions of an exercise, do one of the following:
    increase weight used, number of reps, number of sets or reduce the
    length of the rest period.
    Move better
    – the more efficiently you are moving the easier it will be to increase
    your endurance. For beginners it is key to start with simple
    movements when performing resistance training and building this up.
    Start on machines and progressing to free-weights is a great way to do
    this.
    What are the benefits to
    endurance training?
    ● Increased metabolism as physical tasks can
    be completed for longer
    ● Reduced fatigue when exercising
    ● Good posture
    ● Fewer injuries
    ● Less chance of back problems due to built
    endurance of trunk muscles
    ● Better sporting performance
    ● Refined training techniques for many
    exercises
    Muscular endurance exercises
    Here are 5 types of exercises that you
    can include in your exercise program to
    improve your form:
    ● Planks
    ● Pushups
    ● Body weight squats
    ● Situps
    ● Walking lunges
