Strength endurance

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The muscular endurance is a term used in sports science and sports medicine . It is used in sports in which a high level of force must be exercised over a long period of time. This includes cycling in particular , but also running , boxing , cross-country skiing , rowing and canoeing . Strength endurance can be defined as the fatigue resistance, dependent on the maximum strength, against long-term repetitive loads during static or dynamic muscle work (from 30-50% of the individual maximum strength).

In sports where performance depends on strength and endurance skills, strength endurance is a performance-determining skill. This applies to many endurance sports (e.g. swimming , speed skating , rowing ). It also influences significantly repeated jumping performances (e.g. volleyball , figure skating , wrestling ), even when shooting with a high number of shots it is necessary for a safe attack (= static strength endurance). The component "strength" determines the maximum conditional performance in the individual movement or in the individual movement cycle, the component "endurance" the continuous stress and thereby the decrease in strength due to fatigue in long-term athletic demands.

Develop strength endurance

Strength endurance is discipline-specific, so that e.g. B. in the decathlon of athletics, the performance in the 1500 m run of men at world championships corresponds to performance of children's athletics. For optimal development of general strength endurance, exercises at 60 percent of the maximum weight and between 15 and 20 repetitions are recommended. The movements should be even and flowing. During the movement against the resistance you should exhale and during the return movement you should inhale. Breaks should not be longer than 60 seconds. Since strength and endurance can be trained more effectively separately than combined, block training has become established here.
