Key learning points
- Muscular endurance requires repeated contractions for a long period of time and is tested through the press up test.
- Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to provide oxygen to working muscles for a long time.
- Speed is the ability to perform an action or cover a set distance as quickly as possible.
- Strength is measured through the grip strength dynamometer test.
Keywords
Muscular endurance - the ability to move your body and muscles repeatedly without fatiguing
Cardiovascular endurance - the ability to continue exertion while getting energy from the aerobic system used to supply the body with energy. Also referred to as stamina
Speed - the ability to move quickly across the ground or move limbs rapidly through movements
Strength - the maximum force a muscle/group of muscles can apply against a resistance
Common misconception
Speed is just about running fast.
An example of speed is moving quickly across the ground but also includes other body parts too such as speed of arms in table tennis.
