Endurance training

Endurance training is the act of exercising to increase endurance. The term endurance training generally refers to training the aerobic system as opposed to the anaerobic system. The need for endurance in sports is often predicated as the need of cardiovascular and simple muscular endurance, but the issue of endurance is far more complex.

Endurance can be divided into two categories including: general endurance and specific endurance.
Endurance in sport is closely tied to the execution of skill and technique.
A well conditioned athlete can be defined as, the athlete who executes their technique consistently and effectively with the least effort.
