Answer:

Explanation:

1. Muscular strength is how much force a muscle group can produce in a single effort, while muscular endurance is how long a muscle group can stay contracted or repeatedly contract over a period of time.

2. Type I muscle fibers are slow twitch fibers, type II B are intermediate twitch, and type II A are fast twitch

3. The ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity.

4.Concentric contractions cause muscles to shorten, which creates strength. Eccentric contraction causes the muscles to elongate in response to greater reaction forces.

5. Football, If you were to increase your muscle strength you would be able to throw or kick the football farther and if you build up muscular endurance you can run longer and faster during the football game
