Endurance is compromised of two parts; muscular and cardiorespiritory endurance. Cardiorespiritory endurance is compromised of the cardio and respiratory systems and refers to the body as a whole, usually referred to as the aerobic system. Aerobic reactions become the main source of energy after several minutes of exercise. Muscular endurance refers to individual muscles. The physiological changes in muscle can be categorised by aerobic changes and anaerobic changes. Anaerobic endurance training induces significant increase of ATP, Phosphocreatine and glycogen stores within muscles themselves. The muscle also has an increased amount and activity of key enzymes i.e. ATPase, that control the anaerobic phase of glucose...
