Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time.

what is muscle endurance ?

WHAT IS MUSCLES STRENGTH?

Muscle strength refers to the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximal effort. Size of muscle cells and the ability of nerves to activate them are related to muscle strength.

Squat test

Curl up test

Muscle endurance test

Abdomens strength test

Leg strength test

MUSCLE STRENGTH TEST

PHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEM IN SQUAT TEST

- The major muscle involve in the test - is bicep femoris @ quadriceps

IN THE CURL UP- Major muscle that involve is - rectus abdominis

Physiological system

In abdominal strength test : - The major muscle involve is rectus

abdominis ( stomach )

In leg strength test : - The major muscle is bicep femoris /

quadricept - calf muscle / gastrocnemeus

Physiological system

THE TEST

squat testthe objective of the test

to asses the endurance of athlete’s quadricept

Equipments require

- a chair that makes your knees bend at right angles when you are sitting

- assistant

methods

Stand in front of a chair, facing away from it, with your feet shoulders width apart

Squat down and lightly touch the chair with your backside before standing back up

Keep doing this until you are fatigued

Record the number of squats completed

The norms

crunches objective

to assess the endurance of the athlete's abdominal muscles

Equipments require flat surface

Mat Watch A partner

methods

Lie on the mat with the knees bent, feet flat on the floor, the hands resting on the thighs and the back of the head on the partner's hands

Curl up slowly using the abdominal muscles and slide the hands up the thighs until the finger tips touch the knee caps

Return slowly to the starting position

The feet are not to be held

A complete curl-up is to take 3 seconds-that is 20 repetitions/minute

Repeat as many curls as possible at this rate

Record the total number of curls

Abdominal strength testObjective

estimate the degree of abdominal strength Poor abdominal muscle strength can cause poor posture leading to lower back pain

Equipments require

flat surface goniometer to measure the angle of the leg

The subject lays on the flat surface

The hip joint should be aligned to the intersection of the scale

The arms are held across the chest and the head rested on the floor

The testor places their finger tips underneath the subject's lower back

Both legs are raised to a 90-dregee angle (vertically) while keeping the upper body flat on the floor

The subject may bend their knees first to move to the starting position, before straightening the knee joint

subject aims to sustain the pressure on the tester's fingers under the lower back by contracting the abdominals as the legs are lowered

The subject slowly lowers both legs until the pressure on the hand behind the back disappears

lowest angle observed as the pressure is taken off is the measurement of their abdominal strength

Leg strength testObjective

To asses the strength of calf muscle of an athlete

•400 metre track •Cones •Stop Watch •Assistant

•Use two cones to mark out a 25 metre straight section of track •Start 10 to 15 metres behind the starting line •Jog to the start, then hop the 25 metres from cone to cone •Do this first on the dominant leg, then rest and repeat on the other leg The assistant records your time to complete the 25 metres 

THANKYOU!!
