Endurance - Optimal Hormone Health Clinic

What is endurance?

Endurance is the ability to continue or last despite difficulties, stress, or adversity. It is a measure of mental and physical stamina and resilience.

Endurance comes from Latin durare, meaning “to harden or make firm”. Individuals with high endurance have developed the fortitude and determination for sustained activity.

Some key aspects of endurance include:

• Cardiovascular endurance - the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen and nutrients during sustained physical activity. This supports stamina during exercise.
• Muscular endurance - the ability of a muscle or muscle group to repeatedly exert force against resistance. This prevents early onset of muscular fatigue.
• Mental endurance - the mental focus and grit to push through physical and mental stress or discomfort to achieve a goal. This requires self-discipline and resilience.

Endurance develops through progressive training that gradually increases the duration and intensity of an activity. As the body and mind adapt over time, endurance improves. Proper rest, nutrition and recovery practices also facilitate endurance development.

Some benefits of improved endurance include:

• Enhanced cardiovascular and respiratory function
• Increased athletic performance across sports
• Ability to withstand challenging occupational demands
• Disease prevention resulting from greater fitness levels
• Self-confidence from overcoming difficulties through mental endurance
