Endurance is the ability for humans and animals to exert themselves through aerobic or anaerobic exercise for relatively long periods of time. Aerobic exercise refers to Exercise that involves or improves oxygen consumption by the body Anaerobic exercise is exercise intense enough to trigger anaerobic metabolism. The definition of 'long' varies according to the type of exertion - minutes for high intensity anaerobic exercise, hours or days for low intensity. Training for endurance can have a negative impact on the ability to exert strength unless an individual also undertakes resistance training to counteract this effect. Physical strength is the ability of a person or animal to exert Force on physical objects using muscles. Resistance training has two different sometimes confused meanings - a more broad meaning that refers to any training that uses a resistance to the force of muscular contraction (better [1]

Endurance exercise
Endurance exercise or endurance training consists of performing low- to medium-intensity exercise for long periods of time. Endurance training is the deliberate act of exercising to increase Stamina and Endurance. E. g. , jogging or running several miles to hundreds of miles; cycling dozens of miles to thousands of miles; swimming hundreds of yards or meters to dozens of miles or km. Jogging is a form of trotting or running at a slow or leisurely pace Running is a means for an animal to move on Foot. It is defined in Sporting terms as a Gait in which at some point all feet are off the ground Cycling is the use of Bicycles or - less commonly - Unicycles Tricycles Quadricycles and other similar wheeled Human powered vehicles Swimming is the movement by humans or animals through Water, usually without artificial assistance
Physical endurance is differentiated from other forms of physical stress in that in endurance exercise fatigue of the muscles and cardiovascular system do not force the effort to end. The need for sleep, the buildup of non-recyclable waste chemicals, the depletion of convertible energy stores and other needed chemicals (e. g. , water, sodium), physical injury, psychological failure, or attainment of the goal will bring the effort to an end.
