Endurance can be defined as the ability to withstand or persist despite difficult conditions, pain, or suffering over long periods of time. It requires both physical and mental strength and resilience.
Some key aspects of endurance include:
Building endurance requires progressive overload - gradually increasing the intensity, duration and frequency of training over time. This stimulates physiological adaptations like increased heart stroke volume, capillary density in muscles, glycogen storage, etc. that enhance endurance capacity.
Proper nutrition and recovery are also vital when training endurance. Consuming adequate carbohydrates and protein fuels training and aids muscle repair and adaptation. Staying well hydrated is also key. Getting sufficient sleep gives the body time to regenerate and adapt.
Activities like marathon running, triathlons, and long-distance cycling require incredible endurance built up over months and years of smart training. But for overall health, building everyday endurance through regular cardio exercise 30-60 minutes in length has excellent benefits reducing disease risk and improving mental health.
If you feel you lack cardio endurance for sports or daily activities, have persistent fatigue, or want to improve your overall endurance base, consult an endurance coach or exercise physiologist like those at Elite Hormone Therapy clinic.
