1
Q
What is Aerobic endurance?
A
The ability of the cardio respiratory system to work efficiently, supplying nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained to physical activity.
2

Having adequate range of motion in all joints of the body; the ability to move a joint fluidly through its complete range of movement.
5
Q
What is Muscular endurance?
A
The ability of the muscular system to work efficiently, where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistance load.
