How do you define the differences between endurance and stamina?

Question

Erin Carson · Answer

Hi Melanie, great question. You know, I think that these two words endurance and stamina tend to be used interchangeably when they really are a little bit different in my view. So endurance would be just your ability to go for the Long Haul and typically at a lower intensity stamina. I would take that intensity up. And how long can you go at that much higher? Intensity. So stamina might be dealing. Thing with a lot more metabolic waste because you might be in a much more anaerobic, State and endurance would be a little bit more of an anaerobic event and how you're dealing with more just the overall longevity of the event. So hope that helps

Endurance versus stamina. How do you define the differences? So yeah, we often times do lump these two things into one category. They sound the same but are actually very different. So, you know, in short, when we think about endurance, we think about the marathoner, that endurance athlete and in stamina, we think about the Sprinter, right? Because with endurance, we're trying to Improve our ability to deliver oxygen to muscles and we're operating at certainly under 90% of our maximum with our stamina. We're trying to really increase our maximum power output. We're at or near that maximum capacity. So above 90%. So example of endurance, there would be just to go out on an easy day. Day and use the talk test. And if you can't talk, then you're no longer really working on endurance. And we really want to improve that my new mitochondria Etc. So we want to be able to really keep it in those lower zones. And so say you're running for 4 minutes. You might walk for one and to kind of ensure that you are keeping it more of an endurance day. And so then you can kind of extend that time that Can you can be out there? And then of course, with our stamina, we might do something like Hill Sprints. Whereas now we're trying to go at or near our max speed up that hill, we might say go up to 30 seconds and then completely super compensate and recover. So you take three and a half minutes off. If you do 30 seconds of a hill Sprint, so that you can hit that Mark again. And when you can no longer hit that Mark then really you're no longer working on stamina anymore. Okay, so that's kind of the big differences there and then as a strength coach, there's even a little bit of a definition there and repetitions. So if we're trying to do something, let's say with three to five reps and that's with the weight that we can do near or close to our Max lift. Then that's something we're working. And obviously for our stamina and then for endurance that would be repetitions that are lighter weight but higher repetitions. So often times, we will, we will look at what that athlete really needs. Often times the stamina. We need to work on in strength for an endurance athlete. Hope that helps as a great question. A lot of details to it. Let me know if you have any more.

I'm Ill, great question for me. I think they're both one of the same like stamina is endurance or it's a element of endurance. But, you know, I suppose you could look at it and saying, well, stammers more of the durability to end or, you know, so how what is someone's capacity to not? Get as physically, always mentally exhausted and to enjoy doing their activity for a longer period of time without Fatigue. And then that would be a greater sign of stamina within endurance. Hopefully, that answers your question. But yeah, great thought-provoking fair question.

Hi. How do you define the difference between endurance and stamina? It's a really good one because in a lot of cases that are used interchangeably. I think coach Hollander did a great job of explaining the definitions of the two and so one way that I kind of take those definitions and classify them a little bit more is endurance. I kind of put it more into the neuron mechanical. Category versus stamina. I kind of put it into the metabolic category. Now every exercise that we do is basically mechanical mechanical and metabolic and they can be used interchangeably, of course, but it just helps with Clarity for people. Knowing that stamina is the Central and peripheral response as a result of our movement and endurance being, you know, the mechanical. And neuro mechanical qualities that are needed to complete the task and to be able to do it for a longer period of time.

Hi Melanie, great question. Endurance versus stamina. I would Define endurance, has more strength endurance. This is the ability to effectively maintain muscular functioning under work conditions of long durations. So now, when we look at stamina, this is the work capacity of local and Global structures to provide fuel for both Central and peripheral demands. So it's a little more muscular based on. We talk about endurance and stamina are talking about metabolic contribution to the activity, both lung durations, but there's a different Source if you will.

Hi Melanie, so endurance for sistema NE, you know, without just learning about some definitions. I stamina is really the result of working on your endurance. We work on endurance in a number of different ways to improve your ability to go over long long distances or or yeah, exercise for long distances. So by by working on the physiological aspects of endurance in your body you will then ultimately improve your stamina stamina. It can be divided in another number of different ways but and everybody describes it as something different. And and you know, you go for a hike and like, okay, I feel good after that, or my back doesn't hurt or my knees don't hurt. Or those kind of, you know, feelings, whereas in the endurance, aspect is more, okay? I was able to push more in a push-up test or a VO2 max test on the bike. So, endurance is very measurable and stamina will be more, would be more subjective. Great question though. Thank you.
