UNIT or ACTIVITY: Muscular Endurance Students Name: Christi Holli ield HIST!"Y or #AC$G"!UN% !& THE ACTIVITY !" SP!"T: Hippocrates explained the principle behind strength training when he wrote "that which is used develops, and that which is not used wastes away", referring to muscular hypertrophy and atrophy. Progressive resistance training dates back at least to ncient !reece, when legend has it that wrestler Milo of "roton trained by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until it was fully grown. #eightlifting was practiced by Egyptians and !reeks to measure strength and power and weightlifting was included in the $%&' thens !ames. ustria, !ermany and (rance were most successful in the beginning and in $&)* the +oviet ,nion came to the top. -n the $&&*.s "hina, /urkey, !reece and -ran were in the lead for weightlifting. ETI'UETTE: (ollow rules, eti0uette and safety precautions in gym or area you are working out. SA&ETY: lways warm up muscles before working out. +tretch and cool down after workout also. -f lifting weights, be sure to have a spotter. +tart out gradually and increase time or reps over time so you don.t pull a muscle. -f you have muscle or skeletal disorders or hypertrophy you should not participate in muscular endurance exercise. E'UIP(ENT NEE%E%: /here are many types of muscular endurance, for example biking, swimming, running, lifting weights 1low weight, high reps2. E0uipment needed would depend on type of exercise. Proper workout clothes and shoes. "U)ES: Muscular endurance is a measure of how many times you can move a given weight before fatiguing muscle. Muscular endurance increases bone density and lean body mass. 3ifference between endurance and strength is that strength is lifting maximum amount of weight versus endurance being lower weight and maximum reps. 4 primary types of muscular endurance "ontinuous tension5re0uires muscle to remain under tension for periods of time. Example mountain climbing and weight training

6epetitive dynamic contraction5 causes muscles to repeat contraction over time. Example7 running, swimming and biking. Prolonged intense contractions5 muscle is provided with short rest periods between longer duration contractions. Example7 (ootball, handball and hockey P)AYING A"EA %I(ENSI!NS or (A"$INGS: Muscular endurance could be many different places. 8utdoors, in a gym or weight room, in a swimming pool.
