Hi.

First, the difference between strength and endurance. Strength is using maximum effort for a short amount of time - endurance is just about the opposite.

1) Endurance
2) Strength
3) Strength
4) Endurance
5) Endurance

Hope this helped.

Cheers~

please note that I am unsure about the last one.

Answer 2

The right matches are:

1) is categorized as Endurance

2) is categorized as Strength

3) is categorized as Strength

4) is categorized as Endurance

5) is categorized as Endurance.

Strength athletes spend a large majority of their time moving heavy weights, with very short series of 1 to 5 repetitions.

They also use audience exercises, with higher repetition series in the range of muscle hypertrophy.

On the other hand, they very rarely do very long series, which are of little use to them to develop a pure force.

On the other hand, the enduring atheletes exert a weaker force, with a high number of repetitions.
