The Bodily Trinity - Endurance

Health is a state of complete mental, physical and social well being. Where as fitness the ability to meet the demands of physical task. People who are physically passive, face many health problems in the long run. Heart attack is the most common problem faced by lethargic people. Hence, fitness is important in many aspects of life. It is the key to good health, which affects how we live our life.

There are three main elements of fitness – Strength, Flexibility and Endurance. These three elements are combined in almost all fitness programs, especially those that are designed to offer a balanced and healthy active lifestyle. Lets understand these three elements

Endurace

Day to day activities like carrying groceries to your home, and playing several sets of tennis require dynamic endurance. Endurance training is the deliberate act of exercising to increase stamina and endurance. Fitness xercises for endurance tend to be aerobic in nature versus anaerobic movements. Aerobic exercise develops slow twitch muscles. Performing these fitness exercises strengthens and elongates the muscles for preparation of extended periods of use. A muscle’s ability to remain contracted for a long period of time is called static muscle endurance. It is usually measured by the length of time you can hold a body position. For example using the pushup, if we measure the length of time a person can remain in the flexed arm position, we are in fact measuring static endurance. This means lowering the body in the pushup position until the arms are in a ninety-degree angle parallel to the floor and holding this position as long as possible. Some activities requiring static endurance include handstands and standing in line for hours for concert tickets or rides at the midway.

Benefits of Endurance Training

The main purpose of endurance training is to help the cardiovascular and muscle systems maintain their functions over time. This involves performing low to medium intensity fitness exercise over a long period of time.

Endurance training is very helpful for athletes training in long distance ports such as running or swimming. It is also important in everyday life to help with everyday activities such as house work and other chores.

Many people are interested in endurance exercise because they can take inches off of their bodily measurements. Usually some strengthening and some changes in body contour occur. Also, endurance exercises speed up metabolism, and your body burns calories at a higher rate for several hours after the endurance exercise.

Muscular endurance depends on the efficiency of the skeletal muscles and the nerves that control them. You can train for cardiovascular endurance by running. But if the leg muscles lack the muscular endurance to continue for more than a few minutes, you will not be able to run long enough to develop cardiovascular endurance.

It is also important to remember that the training program for muscular endurance should resemble the activity for which the endurance is needed. Performing muscular endurance exercises with upper body muscles will not help improve the endurance of the leg muscles. Probably the best training program is performing the sport skill repeatedly.
