Valor Taekwondo Lesson 4: Muscle Endurance
/In today’s video we talk about muscle endurance and it’s impact on stamina. While athlete’s can have great cardiovascular endurance, they can also have poor muscular endurance simultaneously.
Cardiovascular endurance is how well one’s lungs can function during strenuous physical activity. The greater the cardio endurance, the longer the lungs can can operate at a high level. Muscular endurance is similar except it involves the muscles of the body. Depending on the muscles used, they can either naturally low or high endurance.
Large muscles such as the leg muscles tend to have naturally low endurance and so it is important to constantly train and condition them to perform for long periods of time. Watch the video lesson to learn about one exercise that can help build the leg endurance needed for both sparring and poomsae. Good luck and train hard!
