The ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions without tiring.

The ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions over time without becoming fatigued.

Muscular endurance is the ability of muscles to perform repeated contractions over time without becoming fatigued. Repeated exercises such as sit-ups can improve endurance, allowing someone to complete more repetitions before their abdominal muscles tire. Strength is therefore about the force produced, whereas endurance is about continuing muscular effort.

The ability of a muscle or muscle group to undergo repeated contractions while resisting fatigue.

Distinguish muscular strength (force produced) from muscular endurance (repeated contractions without fatigue).

Distinguish cardiovascular endurance, which concerns oxygen delivery, from muscular endurance, which concerns repeated muscle contractions.

The ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions while resisting fatigue.

The ability of a muscle or muscle group to contract repeatedly without tiring.

The ability of a muscle or muscle group to make repeated contractions over time without tiring.

Training can also improve muscular endurance, allowing muscles to make repeated contractions for longer. A rower benefits because the working muscles can keep producing strokes throughout a race rather than tiring early.

The ability of a muscle or muscle group to repeatedly exert force over time without becoming fatigued.
