Athletic Endurance

Meaning

The physiological capacity of an individual to sustain prolonged physical activity requiring submaximal effort, resisting fatigue over an extended period. This complex trait depends fundamentally on efficient oxygen utilization, robust cardiovascular function, and the sustained metabolic delivery of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to working muscles. Achieving high athletic endurance necessitates optimal interplay between the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems.
