Endurance is the ability of the body to perform physical or mental work for a long time without a significant decrease in efficiency. Physical endurance depends on the state of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, and muscular systems, as well as on the body’s ability to provide working tissues with energy.
Regular physical activity contributes to the development of endurance and improved cardiorespiratory fitness. Endurance is also affected by fitness level, recovery, sleep, nutrition, and overall health.
