- Training often includes 12 or more repetitions to develop endurance.
- Common tests include push-ups and sit-ups to assess muscular endurance.
Cardio Endurance
- Represents how effectively the heart, lungs, and muscles function together during sustained physical activity.
- Activities may include running, rucking, fast walking, and swimming.
