Muscular Strength and
Muscular Endurance Learning Outcomes:
Explain muscular strength and endurance
Perform a variety of physical fitness test using correct techniques; Enjoy a variety of physical activities with understanding; Demonstrate an understanding of concepts and skills acquired in various physical fitness test; and Measure their own body fat percentage using an accepted method Pre- test 1. What does “muscular strength” refer to? a) The maximum force a muscle can exert in a single effort. b) The ability of a muscle to perform repeated contractions over time. c) The flexibility of a muscle. d) The speed of muscle contraction.
2. Which of the following best defines “muscular endurance”?
a) The maximum weight a muscle can lift once. b) The ability of a muscle to sustain repeated contractions against resistance. c) The capacity to stretch a muscle. d) The ability to relax quickly after exertion. 3). One benefit of building muscular strength and endurance is: a) Decreasing metabolism b) Increasing lean muscle mass c) Reducing bone density d) Reducing daily caloric expenditure 4). Which of the following best explains the relationship between muscular strength and endurance? a) They are unrelated qualities. b) Increased muscular endurance helps develop greater muscular strength. c) They work against each other. d) Only one can be improved at a time. 5). Which of the following is a safety tip for physical fitness workouts? a) Skip the warm-up to save time b) Hold your breath during exercises c) Use proper technique and maintain proper posture d) Lock your joints at the end of each movement Defining Muscular Strength and Muscular Endurance
Muscular strength is determined by the
maximum strength that a muscle can use in a single effort to counteract some form of resistance. It relates to your ability to move and lift objects. Muscular Strength and Muscular Endurance Differentiated
Muscular strength and muscular endurance
are directly linked, as muscular endurance requires a certain amount of muscular strength to maintain or perform repetitive resistance contractions. Also, your muscular strength increases as your muscular endurance improve or vice versa. Measuring Muscular Strength
Your muscular strength depends on how much force
you can generate and how much weight you can lift in a short time. The one-repetition maximum test (1RM) is the standard test used to assess muscle strength. During a IRM test, an individual performs one repetition of a single exercise to see how much weight they can lift. Benefits of Building Muscular Strength and Muscular Endurance Some of the advantages of strength and endurance training for exercisers at all levels are:
(1) build up lean muscle mass;
(2) improve your metabolism: (3) burn more calories with greater ease; (4) help to improve the way that your body looks; and (5) improve the quality of your daily activities and movement. Safety Tips For the Physical Fitness Workout (1) Warm-up and cool down correctly. (2) Proper technique is essential. (3) Maintain proper posture and body positioning at all times to minimize the risk of injury. (4) Don't hold your breath while you're doing a physical fitness exercise. Breathe normally. (5) Before exercising, wear appropriate clothing and safety equipment. Dress up comfortably and practically. (6) Use the full range of motion you need when doing a physical fitness exercise. Don't lock the joints. Stick for a range of motion that looks natural when you're exercising. (7) Don't exercise if you feel exhausted or sick. (8) Don't try your physical fitness workout if you have an injury. (9) When you can't complete a series of workouts or workout sessions, listen to the body, and cut back. Post- test
1. Muscular strength is primarily determined by:
a) The number of muscle fibers in a muscle b) The maximum force a muscle can generate in a single effort c) The muscle's ability to perform continuously d) The speed of muscle contractions 2. A proper warm-up before exercise primarily helps to: a) Increase the risk of injury b) Prepare the muscles for physical activity c) Reduce heart rate d) Cool the body down 4. One benefit of building muscular strength and endurance is: a) Decreasing metabolism b) Increasing lean muscle mass c) Reducing bone density d) Reducing daily caloric expenditure 5. What does muscular endurance measure? a) The maximum weight lifted once b) The muscle’s ability to sustain repeated contractions over time c) The time it takes to fatigue the muscle d) The flexibility of a muscle group
