1. muscular endurance training typically involves performing ____ repetitions with ____ resistance.
2. consistently training for muscular endurance improves a persons ____ and reduces the risk of ____.

Explanation:

1. La resistencia muscular se define como la capacidad de un músculo para sostener contracciones repetidas a lo largo del tiempo.
2. La fuerza muscular se refiere a la cantidad de fuerza que se puede ejercer una vez, mientras que la resistencia muscular es cuánto tiempo se puede sostener el esfuerzo.
3. Las fibras miotónicas lentas se enfatizan en la mejora de la resistencia muscular ya que son capaces de trabajar durante períodos prolongados sin fatigarse rápidamente.
4. Los ejercicios como las flexiones de brazo o las sentadillas con peso corporal son buenos para desarrollar resistencia muscular ya que se realizan con múltiples repeticiones.
5. Cuando se entrena para la resistencia muscular, se recomienda un alto número de repeticiones y descansos cortos para forzar a los músculos a adaptarse y mejorar su resistencia.
6. El tempo en el entrenamiento se refiere a la velocidad de cada fase del levantamiento, que es importante para controlar la movilidad y la tensión muscular.
7. La resistencia muscular implica múltiples repeticiones con resistencia moderada.
8. El entrenamiento consistente de la resistencia muscular mejora la salud cardiovascular y reduce el riesgo de lesiones.

Answer:

1. B. The ability of a muscle to sustain repeated contractions over time

3. B. Slow - twitch fibers
4. C. Push - ups or bodyweight squats
5. B. High reps and short rests
6. A. Speed of each lift phase
7. multiple, moderate
8. cardiovascular health, injuries
