The most common method of improving muscular strength is by lifting a weight that is 70% your maximum for 10-12 times.
Muscular endurance: The capacity of a muscle to exert a submaximal force through a given range of motion. It’s a combination of strength and endurance that creates muscular endurance. In sports, muscular endurance is essential for you in order to play for a very long time. Muscular endurance is determined by how well your muscle fibers are developed.
