Endurance

Training

Short definition

Endurance — the ability to sustain work over time.

Full definition

Endurance can be aerobic (MX, capillaries) or strength (repeated efforts). Aerobic endurance is developed by long low-intensity work, strength endurance by high-rep sets. In MIDA it is linked to mitochondrial (MX) growth.

Examples

Strength endurance: 3×20 at 50 % 1RM.
