Introduction of Endurance




Top-Endurance provides you with the basic knowledge of exercise physiology needed for coaching or participating in endurance-based sporting activities. Understanding this information is important for people who are active competitors or people who participate in endurance activities for health and recreation. A significant amount of physical energy is required when a person trains for and competes in endurance-based sporting events. Therefore, we begin this chapter with a discussion of energy production. Some basic questions will get us started:

  • What exactly is energy?
  • How is energy produced and used in an endurance athlete’s body?

The answers to these questions rely primarily on the basic sciences of biology and biochemistry. If you’re studying these subjects for the first time, you may find them to be very technical and a bit overwhelming. In that case, you should focus on the nonscientific analogies provided and should refer to the figures where indicated. These tips will help you get the most out of this chapter.
