Question

Explain continous methods of endurance developement in detail

Answer 1

Endurance refers to the body’s ability to continue using muscular strength and endure repeated contractions for an extended period of time. It is essential in exercise and when doing heavy tasks as it allows the muscles to perform for long periods of time without becoming tired. There are various methods of its development. Some are as follows :

 Continuous Training : Continuous training is a type of sports training that involves activity of moderate intensity with a duration of-more 15 minutes with resting intervals. It is the most common type of training and is for maintaining general health and well being. Generally, this type of training is used to prepare the body for sustained workouts such as marathons and triathlons, but can also be effective for more casual athletes. It allows the body to work from its aerobic energy stores to improve overall fitness and endurance. Chief
-benefits of continuous training include fat burning, muscle building, and increasing maximum aerobic potential.

Answer 2

Continuous method of endurance development: 

• In this training method exercise is done for long duration without giving any break or pause in between the exercises. In these types of exercises or activities duration of work is more and intensity is less. For example, cross country runs.
• Endurance training primarily work the slow twitch (type 1) fibers and develop such fibers in their efficiency and resistance to fatigue. 
• Catabolism also improves increasing the athletes capacity to use fat and glycogen stores as an energy source.
• There is higher efficiency in oxygen transport and distribution.
