MUSCULAR STRENGTH AND MUSCULAR Mr. Foltz Health & PE ENDURANCE MUSCULAR STRENGTH The ability of a muscle or muscles to push or pull with its total force. Increased muscular strength allows a person to lift, push, or pull with more force. MUSCULAR STRENGTH Improving strength: Use enough resistances so that the muscles are CHALLENGED to complete eight repetitions.(Work the muscles to near maximal force) If a person can do more than twelve reps of an exercise, then they have plenty of strength and are now working on endurance. MUSCULAR STRENGTH Activities that use muscular strength: Lifting a heavy box Opening a jar Carrying grocery bags Carrying a child What others? MUSCULAR STRENGTH Strength is always a benefit in any athletic situation but it also important when the car has a flat tire, the door is stuck, or the pickle jar cannot be opened. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE The muscle’s ability to work over a long period of time. The muscles are able to repeat a movement many times or hold a position without stopping to rest. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE Improving Endurance: Increase the number of repetitions. (at least twelve times) Strength gains are made, but as number of reps increase, less impact is made on strength and more is made on the endurance. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE Activities that use muscular endurance: Climbing stairs Shopping Aerobic Activities Raking Leaves Mowing Lawn (Push Mower) What others? MUSCULAR ENDURANCE What comes first? Strength or Endurance? Strength Before the brick layer can stack hundreds of bricks a day, they must have the muscular strength to lift the first brick. Once they have the initial strength to lift the first brick, the brick layer can begin to build muscular endurance. “IF YOU DON’T USE THEM YOU WILL LOSE THEM” Muscles react positively to strenuous activity and negatively to inactivity. When the body is inactive, a LARGE percentage of strength is lost over time. HOW CAN I IMPROVE BOTH? Resistance training: Activities that place an additional force against the muscle or muscle group. Examples: Weight training, Push-ups, and crunches WHY SHOULD I IMPROVE IT? As your body ages, bone density tends to decrease which can lead to weak bones (osteoporosis) Building muscular strength and endurance through resistance training, can help improve bone density and control body composition.
