Question

Which component of physical education tests how much force an individual can put out all at once?

Answer 1

Muscular strength is a health-related fitness component in Physical Education which determines an individual's capacity to put out force in one single effort. Every individual must develop this component of fitness because it is needed in activities of daily living like pushing or lifting heavy objects. In order to develop this component of fitness, an individual can engage in resistance training exercises (e.g. weight lifting).

Muscular endurance and muscular strength are commonly interchanged but one should be aware that muscular endurance refers to the ability of an individual to perform an activity continuously without undue fatigue.
