How muscular strength, endurance, size and actions can be enhanced by fitness and training for daily tasks.
Muscular strength is the ability of the muscles to exert force and it has been described as ‘the amount of force you can produce with a single maximum effort’. This is very important to us, as we need it for some if not all of the following reasons:
1) To increase work capacity
2) To decrease the chance of injury
3) To prevent lower back pain
4) To improve or prevent poor posture
5) To improve athletic performance
6) To save a life or property in the event of an emergency situation
7) To aid rehabilitation after illness or injury
Muscular endurance is the ability to use the voluntary muscles many times without getting tired. This is different to the concept of muscular strength however the two things are related and go hand in hand. Some people are able to exert the necessary force for certain actions but they cannot continue doing this for long periods of time, these people need to improve their muscular endurance. Some people cannot actually do these tasks because their muscles are not big enough or strong enough. These people need to improve their muscular strength and need to increase their muscle size. All these things can be enhanced by fitness and training and in turn make it easier to do the daily tasks that I have mentioned.
