Which training targets 'Strength and muscular endurance'?

• A. Plyometric training.
• B. Circuit training.
• C. Resistance training.
• D. Flexibility training.

Answer: (C)

Strength and muscular endurance come from applying regular resistance training, where muscles are challenged with external resistance and overload is progressively increased. This approach directly trains the neuromuscular system to produce more force and to sustain it over repeated efforts. By adjusting the training variables, you can emphasize different outcomes: heavier loads with fewer repetitions build maximal strength, while lighter loads with more repetitions build muscular endurance. Resistance training includes using free weights, machines, bands, or bodyweight to drive those adaptations.

Other training types focus on different goals. Plyometric work targets power and explosive force production, flexibility work improves range of motion and tissue length, and circuit training mixes modalities and can improve overall endurance, but resistance training is the primary method for developing both strength and muscular endurance.
