What is the ability to use muscles for a long period of time?
Muscular Endurance
– is the ability to use your muscles many times without tiring. People with good muscular endurance are likely to have better posture and fewer back problems.
What is the ability of a muscle to move low resistance for a long period of time *?
Muscular endurance
is the ability of muscle or muscle group to continue work over a long period of time. The one minute sit-up test measures muscular endurance of the abdominal.
What is the ability of the muscle to use for a long period of time without?
Muscular Endurance
– the ability of the muscles to perform difficult physical tasks over a period of time without causing fatigue.
What is the ability for a muscle to work against a resistance for an extended period of time?
Muscular endurance
refers to the ability of a muscle to sustain repeated contractions against resistance for an extended period of time.
What is the amount of force that a muscle can produce?
For every 1 square centimetre of cross sectional area, muscle fibres can exert a maximum force of approximately
30–40 newtons
(the weight of a 3–4 kg mass).
What training method is most likely to cause muscle hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy refers to an increase in muscular size achieved through exercise. When you work out, if you want to tone or improve muscle definition,
lifting weights
is the most common way to increase hypertrophy.
What do you call the movement that causes your body to use energy?
physical activity
– any form of movement that causes your body to use energy.

What is the ability of the muscle to generate the greatest force?
Muscular Strength
: the ability of the muscles to exert a force. The maximum amount of force that a muscle can generate in a single effort. Muscular strength in the upper body is tested by the maximum bench press and the lower body by the maximum leg press.
What is the ability of muscle to lift a heavy weight or exert a lot of force one time?
Muscular endurance
is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to exert force repeatedly.
What is the ability to do daily activities without becoming overly tired?

lack of exercise, ageing, muscle injury or pregnancy
. It can also occur with long-term conditions such as diabetes or heart disease. There are many other possible causes, which include stroke, multiple sclerosis, depression, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME).
What is called where the muscle builds strength against resistance?
Resistance training (also called strength training or weight training)
is the use of resistance to muscular contraction to build the strength, anaerobic endurance and size of skeletal muscles.
What is a result of poor muscle strength?
The authors say that low muscular strength in adolescents “is an
emerging risk factor for major causes of death in young adulthood
, such as suicide and cardiovascular diseases.” The effect sizes of these associations “are similar to classic risk factors such as body mass index and blood pressure,” they add.
