How can you improve muscular endurance?
You can improve muscular endurance through specific training methods such as high-repetition strength training, circuit training, and aerobic exercises.
Example: Incorporating exercises like push-ups, squats, and lunges with higher repetitions.
What is high-repetition strength training?
High-repetition strength training involves performing exercises with lighter weights for a higher number of repetitions, typically 12-20 reps or more.
What is circuit training?
Circuit training consists of a series of exercises performed in sequence with minimal rest in between, targeting different muscle groups.
What role do aerobic exercises play in muscular endurance?
Aerobic exercises enhance overall stamina and can improve muscular endurance by increasing the efficiency of the cardiovascular system.
