Endurance Exercise
Endurance exercise consists of performing low-
to medium-intensity exercise for very extended periods of time. E.g., jogging or running several
miles to hundreds of miles; cycling dozens of miles to thousands
of miles; swimming hundreds of yards to dozens of miles.
Physical endurance is differentiated from other
forms of physical pressure in that in endurance exercise fatigue
of the muscles and cardiovascular system do not force the effort
to end. The need for sleep, the increase of non-recyclable waste
chemicals, the depletion of convertible energy stores and other
needed chemicals (e.g., water, sodium), physical injury, psychological
failure, or attainment of the goal will bring the effort to an
end.
