This is an excerpt from Dancer Wellness With Web Resource by Mary Virginia Wilmerding & Donna Krasnow.Muscular strength is the ability to exert maximal force in one single contraction, such as lifting a weight that you could lift only once before needing a short break. Muscular power refers to a great force production over a short period of time, such as in fast leg kicks and explosive jumping. Muscular endurance is when less force is sustained over a longer period of time such as in gallops, skips, pliés, and swings. Dancers often confuse endurance with strength, so it is sometimes useful to think of endurance as continuous and strength as maximal. Show
This dancer displays muscular strength as well as flexibility in this difficult balance.

Which component of fitness is defined as the ability of a muscle to lift a maximal resistance '?Muscular strength is the maximum force that can be generated by a muscle group against resistance. To improve muscular strength, lift a heavy resistance for a few repetitions (high load – low reps). The main effect of this type of training is hypertrophy (bigger muscles).
Which physical component of fitness is the maximum force that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group?Muscular strength (dynamic) is defined as the maximum force a muscle or muscle group can generate at a specific velocity. Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions against a load for an extended period of time.
What fitness component is the ability of the muscles to exert maximum force in a single effort?Muscular Strength: the ability of the muscles to exert a force. The maximum amount of force that a muscle can generate in a single effort. Muscular strength in the upper body is tested by the maximum bench press and the lower body by the maximum leg press.
What is the maximal force that muscles can produce?For every 1 square centimetre of cross sectional area, muscle fibres can exert a maximum force of approximately 30–40 newtons (the weight of a 3–4 kg mass).
