Document Summary

Lecture 4 - building muscular strength and endurance. Explain how resistance training is used to attain muscular fitness. Identify key skeletal muscle structures and explain how they work together to allow for basic muscle function. Articulate the fitness and wellness improvements you can make with regular resistance training. Evaluate your changes in muscle fitness over time by assessing your muscular strength and muscular endurance at regular intervals. Implement an effective resistance-training exercise program compatible with your goals and lifestyle. Avoid the risks associated with supplement use and dramatic diet changes. The ability of the musculoskeletal system to perform daily and recreational activities without undue fatigue and injury. The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to contract with maximal force. The ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly over an extended period of time. Controlled and progressive stressing of the body"s musculoskeletal system using resistance (ex. weights, resistance bands, body weight) exercises to build and maintain muscular fitness.
