1. Explain the difference between muscular strength and muscular endurance. (2 points) 2. Compare and contrast Type I, Type II-A, Type II-B muscle fibers and provide an example of an activity that requires each fiber type.(6 points)

3. Explain the role of the Cardiovascular and Respiratory systems have on one’s muscular endurance abilities.(2 points)

4. Explain the difference between the types of muscle contraction. (3 points)

5. Select a sport and explain how increasing your muscular strength and muscular endurance would improve your performance in that sport. Be specific to the sport you selected. (2 points)

1. Muscular strength is the amount of force you can put out or the amount of weight you can lift. Muscular endurance is how many times you can move that weight without getting exhausted (very tired).

2. The two types of skeletal muscle fibers are slow-twitch (type I) and fast-twitch (type II). Slow-twitch muscle fibers support long distance endurance activities

3. Cardiorespiratory endurance tests monitor how well the heart, lungs, and muscles perform during moderate to high-intensity exercise. Increasing cardiorespiratory endurance improves oxygen uptake in the lungs and heart and can help a person sustain physical activity for longer

4. A concentric contraction causes muscles to shorten, thereby generating force. Eccentric contractions cause muscles to elongate in response to a greater opposing force. Isometric contractions generate force without changing the length of the muscle.

5. Leg strength and stamina would help more on soccer because of the lack of use in your arms while playing
