Discuss the differences between strength training and endurance training
Different types of exercise induce a variety of physical adaptations. Strength training (such as weight lifting) challenges muscles with movements that are difficult but brief in duration. These physical adaptations increase maximal oxygen consumption, which increases muscle size and strength. Conversely, endurance training (such as running and swimming) entails steady, low- to moderate-intensity exercise that persists for a longer duration. Endurance training is beneficial for pulmonary and cardiovascular function, and can help improve aerobic capacity (the ability of cells to produce Adenosine triphosphate in the presence of an oxygen-rich environment). As the intensity and duration of endurance training increases, muscles require more oxygen for aerobic ATP production. This challenges the cardiovascular system to work even harder.
