Introduction[edit | edit source]
In sport, endurance is the ability to sustain a specific activity (endurance running, cycling, swimming, rowing, cross-country skiing etc) for a prolonged period.
- An endurance sport is any sport in which there is a requirement to sustain an activity level while enduring a level of physical stress.
- Endurance training involves developing both general and event specific endurance. And the mental toughness or “grit” needed to achieve our peak performance.
- The fundamental requirement for any endurance sport is the ability to sustain a submaximal work rate for a prolonged period.
The ability to compete strongly in endurance events is influenced by our physical fitness and psychological strengths
- Endurance training is largely influenced by physiological factors (efficiency of energy systems, aerobic capacity/VO2 max, lactate threshold, muscle strength, power and muscular endurance)
- Psychology also plays a key part in success in endurance sport.[1]
