The second is MUSCULAR ENDURANCE. This refers to your muscles
ability to work through a range of motion over a specific amount of time.
This can be measured by the ability to hold a weight for a specific amount
of time say 20 pounds over-head for 5 minutes. Many times this
component is measured through push-ups as these are exercises that
exert a specific amount of pressure over time. This measures the upper
