Continuous Training And Muscular Endurance

Continuous training- Improves cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance.
Continuous training is training continuously hence its name. There are no breaks or short pauses which means that the individual is constantly working, putting the muscles in the leg (such as the quadriceps and hamstrings) and the heart under pressure to supply which is needed. Altitude training can also be continuous which assists with the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen through the bloodstream which allows the muscles to gain more oxygen to work for a longer period of time. When participating in anaerobic activity, such as marathon running, the pace should be slow (however the intensity can range from low to high) but the steady pace should be a constant. This allows the heart to supply oxygen to the muscles and so the individual can work for longer. The length an individual should continuously train for is recommended to be for 20 minutes or more.
Continuous training should
It increases the size of the skeletal muscles makes them more prominent and defined, which means their body composition is improved. The weights used provide resistance to the muscles which will make them work harder to overcome gravity. The amount of weight that you lift changes and also the amount of reps and sets. This makes the individual work increasingly harder each time which means that their muscular strength (more weight less reps), especially in their biceps and triceps if they are using free weights. Their power is also improved since they are having to exert the biggest force they can to overcome the weight. By doing more reps with a smaller weight, the individual can improve their muscular endurance. Weight training can consist of sit ups, press ups and using weights and they are all isotonic (the muscles firstly contract then finally extent when they weight is being
