What is cardiovascular endurance?
The ability of the muscles to exert force for a brief period of time
The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the body during sustained physical activity
The ability to move joints through a full range of motion
The ratio of fat to lean tissue in the body
How does cardiovascular endurance contribute to overall health?
By increasing muscle size and strength
By improving heart and lung function, reducing the risk of chronic diseases
By enhancing flexibility and joint mobility
By increasing body fat percentage
What is the primary difference between muscular strength and muscular endurance?
Muscular strength is the ability to exert force, while muscular endurance is the ability to sustain activity over time
Muscular strength is related to flexibility, while muscular endurance is related to cardiovascular health
Muscular strength is the ability to move joints, while muscular endurance is the ability to maintain body composition
Muscular strength is the ability to increase body fat, while muscular endurance is the ability to decrease body fat
Why is flexibility important for physical performance?
It helps in increasing muscle mass
It allows for a full range of motion and reduces the risk of injury
