2. Strength Endurance…
The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to undergo repeated contractions over a period of time and withstand fatigue
Food & Chemicals Used: would be slow release energy that have lots of carbohydrates by having slow release energy food this allows prolonged exercise with out fatiguing.
Predominant Energy System – lactic acid (glucose) and aerobic (carbs and fats)

3. Types of Training
Weight Training – to train for activities that require strength: swimming, rowing.
A Different approach to training will be required – a lighter load or resistance is needed.
3 Sets of 20 repetitions at 50-60% of 1RM with a partial recovery between sets
-3 sets x 20 reps x 55% 1RM (partial recovery [1:1/2])

4. Types of Training
Circuit Training – involves performing a number of callisthenic exercises in succession – press-ups, abdominal curls, step-ups.
Each exercise is usually performed for a set amount of time or a set number of repetitions, and the circuit can be adapted to meet specific fitness requirements of a given sport or activity.
Things to consider when planning a circuit:
1 – the number of participants
2 – their level of fitness
3 – the amount of time, space and equipment that is available.

5. FITT PRINCIPLE
frequency - train regularly to improve the endurance so your body gets use to it
intensity - the intensity of the training would not be very high (moderate) as the higher the intensity the harder it is to maintain the length of time training for – 3-5 minutes
time - you would training for a along time as this also improves endurance – 30 minutes
type - the type of training can range for many things you would want to focus on improving the endurance in all training areas and not strength

6. Test – Abdominal Conditioning
Equipment:
-Sports Coach UK CD
-Stopwatch
-CD player
-Gym mat
Method:
-Participants are required to perform as many sit-ups as possible, keeping in time with the bleeps emitted from the CD.
-Get a partner to count the number of sit-ups completed correctly, and time the duration of the work period.
-Participants should withdraw from the test when they can no long keep in time to the bleeps, or when the technique noticeably deteriorates.

7. Advantages
-easy to administer with little equipment required
-large groups can participate at once
-the abdominal muscles can be easily isolated
-the test is relatively high in validity and reliability
Disadvantages
-correct technique is essential for successful completion of the test, which is difficult to monitor
-this is a maximal test and relies to some extent upon the motivation of the performer
-it is now recognised that full sit ups should not be completed regularly due to the strain placed on the lower regions of the spine
-only tests the strength endurance and the abdominal muscles
