How do you define the differences between endurance and stamina?

Unveiling the Distinctions: Endurance vs. Stamina Explained

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 is your ability to go for the long haul at a lower intensity, while stamina is your ability to maintain a higher intensity for a longer period of time.

Endurance and stamina are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences between the two. Endurance refers to the ability to sustain activity over a long period, typically at a lower intensity. It focuses on the overall longevity of the event. On the other hand, stamina involves maintaining activity at a higher intensity. It may involve dealing with more metabolic waste and operating in an anaerobic state. So, while endurance emphasizes the ability to go for the long haul, stamina relates to how long one can sustain higher intensity efforts.
