Muscle Endurance vs Muscle Strength

What is the definition of muscle endurance?

• The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to repeatedly exert force against resistance over an extended period of time.

• The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to stretch and lengthen.

• The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to contract quickly and forcefully.

• The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to generate maximum force in a single contraction.

What is the definition of muscle strength?

• Ability of a muscle or a group of muscles to maintain posture.

• Ability of a muscle or a group of muscles to exert force against resistance.

• Ability of a muscle or a group of muscles to contract and relax.

• Ability of a muscle or a group of muscles to stretch and flex.

How would you describe muscle endurance?

• Ability to perform explosive movements.

• Ability to lift heavy weights.

• Ability to exert maximum force in a short period of time.

• Ability to repeatedly exert force or sustain an activity without fatigue.
