Muscular strength is a health-related fitness component in Physical Education
which determines an individual's capacity to put out force in one single effort.
Every individual must develop this component of fitness because it is needed in
activities of daily living like pushing or lifting heavy objects. In order to
develop this component of fitness, an individual can engage in resistance
training exercises (e.g. weight lifting).
Muscular endurance and muscular
strength are commonly interchanged but one should be aware that muscular
endurance refers to the ability of an individual to perform an activity
continuously without undue fatigue.
