Question 1

what is the difference between the exercise prescription for building muscular endurance and muscle strength?

Accepted Answer

Overlap: Endurance is generally built with many repititions of an exercise using light or no weights.  Stregth is generally built using more weight and fewer repititions.  There is a great deal of overlap in this;  even when you emphasize building strength you will build some endurance, and even when you emphasize building endurance you will get stronger.  The important thing is you're exercising.

Question 3

does poor flexibility lead to poor muscular endurance becouse my legs have poor flexibility and my legs always burn when i run or walk up stairs?

Accepted Answer

No: Poor flexibility does not effect muscle endurance.

Question 4

why is it ok to take a prescription strength medication for example an 800 motrin&not healthy to take four 200mg motrin otc? what is the difference?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring: The only difference is at higher, prescribed dosing, your physician can discuss with you side effects to monitor for and precautions as the likelihood of those side effects increase with increased dosage. While you may be able to tolerate 800mg for periods, it may cause a severe stomach bleed in others and physicians need to monitor these issues for patient safety. Hope that helps!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Iron: Over the counter iron pills come in various strenghts and can be similar to prescription iron.  Best to use a slow release iron e.g. Slow Fe and take 500 mg vit C with  each dose to help absorption of iron.
Look up high iron foods on google, as food is best source of iron.

Question 6

what are cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength?

Accepted Answer

Fitness: CV endurance refers to aerobic conditioning, or the body's ability to maintain a heightened level of physical activity over a long period of time. I liken it to marathons over sprints, like driving freeway miles instead of city miles. Your heart is fondest of freeway miles vs short bursts that we think of as city miles-like your auto! Achieve CV endurance by steady exertion over longer pds of time

Question 7

Accepted Answer

High rep's: Keep weights low, and high rep's. 15-20 rep's per set. 3 sets per body part.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

None: There are no 'steroids' with clinical indications to be used for this.

Question 9

is whey protein recommended for an athlete who is building strength and muscles?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: When protein is recommended if you do not get enough protein naturally through your diet in order to build muscle.  Trusting your source of whey protein is important.  There are brands that are tainted with steroids so athletes that take them believe it is the whey protein that is responsible for the positive response.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

None: Protein is the building blocks of muscle. Not testosterone.
