Endurance

cross the entire continent via land. This amazing feat had been attempted several times all ending in failure. Although, on their way to claim glory for not only themselves, but their country, disaster struck. Their seemingly undefeatable ship, the Endurance, was crushed by ice and the men were forced to abandon ship taking whatever supplies they could gather. With no way to get home and no source of communication, they were forced to forge ahead into the great unknown. Their quest now, not fame…

Never Giving Up People endure every single day. Whether physical endurance, or mental endurance, everyone endures. My personal story of endurance is similar Mariam. I was sent to a summer long camp. Much like Mariam, everyday was a struggle in itself. The queasy, sick feeling of missing home, and not knowing what the day will bring. When most people are faced with emotional, or physical endurance, they give up. But in the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Hosseini, is a story about two…

Love can make us do crazy things. It can take us on life changing journeys, sometimes even journeys that take us across the world. Love can sometimes weigh us down, if it isn’t good for us or returned to us. It can hinder our judgements or even alter our beliefs altogether. But in the end we must decide if love is worth the ups and downs. Whether we should put ourselves, our very hearts, on the line in the hopes of finding a love that will endure a lifetime. In this paper I will explain the…

20 May, 2016 Mettle Theodore Roosevelt said, "Life brings sorrows and joys alike. It is what a man does with them - not what they do to him - that is the true test of his mettle". It is the ability to cope with hard times and get through them without having a major melt down. I think it is hard for people to stay strong through tough situations, but I believe that is why not many people show mettle because it is so difficult. I chose this word because there are people in my family who have…

Periodization may be extremely confusing especially to a strength and conditioning coach at the high school level. One may wonder what is periodization? What periodization model is the best for what type of athlete? How do I implement periodization for a high school athlete? These are just a few questions a strength and conditioning coach may ask themselves or others. This journal is written to help explain some of these questions for a high school strength coach but in no way is the absolute…

Endurance exercise increases the ability of skeletal muscle and fat oxidation due to that it increases the mitochondrial density, oxygen delivery to muscle and the activities of the enzymes involved in oxidation (Melanson et al., 2009). The skeletal muscle type I (slow/oxidative) and type II (fast/glycolytic) display differences on the contraction of metabolism and fatigue. Type I muscle fibres have a tremendous capacity for oxidative metabolism, resulting from the significant number of…

Stacy, I think that the way you categorized the benefits of muscular strength and endurance illustrates a change or a sustainment for a healthy lifestyle. Fitness and exercise are not just a hobby or something that is done every once awhile. It should become a lifestyle to feel and see all the benefits it can provide. Injury prevention and improved muscle and bone health with aging I felt are examples of that. Although, anybody can take the steps to become physically active at any time in their…

• In what context should the Endurance expedition be analyzed? As a scientific endeavor? An entrepreneurial venture? An exercise in imperial opportunity? By what criteria should the expedition be evaluated? Given your answer to the preceding question, was it a success or a failure? The Endurance expedition fits in all three contexts of imperial, scientific and entrepreneurial. Ernest Shackleton used his journalist contacts in order to promote the expedition. Shackleton was not able to…

to act when things were bad, his ability to challenge the process of the circumstances that weren’t favorable, and his ability to model the way is with his transformational leadership. Although there is things that Shackleton lacked in during the Endurance Expedition, his ability to withstand the hardships while uncovering his brilliant leadership abilities was the most significant thing to do as a transformational leader. A transformational leader is very influential when trying to…

muscular strength and endurance can lead to improvements in the areas of performance, injury prevention, body composition, self-image, lifetime muscle and bone health, and metabolic health. Most important, greater muscular strength and endurance reduce the risk of premature death (Reuter 101). Muscular performance can be broken down into two components, strength and endurance. “Muscle strength is the ability to exert a maximal amount of force for a short period of time. Muscle endurance is the…
