Newer Female Grapplers, Know The Difference Between Endurance And Stamina, Excel At Both

March 25, 2022,

You can have both.

You can have one or the other.

Sounds good right?

Endurance and Stamina.

As a newer emerging female wrestler, if you plan to take the sport seriously, you should understand the difference between the two.

Briefly, here is goes.

Endurance is the ability of a person to exert herself and remain active for a long period of time, as well as resist, withstand, recover from and have immunity to trauma, wounds or fatigue.

Stamina is similar to endurance, but absolutely not the same.

Stamina is the ability or strength to keep doing something, at your very highest level, for a long time.

Let’s look at a simple example.

In tennis, two players are in a dog fight.

The superior player is making unforced errors and has dug herself into a hole.

It is a 100 degree day and humid.

She is now down 5-1 in the first set. Two sets wins the match.

She now has to make a choice. She can tank the first set, allow the lesser player to win and save her energy for a three set, knockdown, drag out affair which would mean she has chosen endurance.

Or, she can try and storm back, playing at a high level and still try and win the first set. Possibly in a tie-breaker, but give it everything she has, knowing she runs the risk of losing the first set and placing her back against the wall to try and come back and win two sets with her energy drained.

If she chooses the latter option, that is stamina.

In a real life example, at the historic 2022 Australian Open, in the finals, the eventual champion, Australia’s Ash Barty won the first set over American Danielle Collins but found herself behind in the second set 5-1.

Ms. Barty had a decision to make.

Since she had one set in her pocket, she could choose endurance, tank the second set, save her energy and fight it out in the third set.

She made the decision to choose stamina, play at her highest level, run the risk that she could come to back to 4-5, and lose the set, and expend all of that energy, winning essentially three meaningless games and still have to play a full third set with less energy.

Fortunately her risk to play at her highest level paid off and she won the match in two sets.

We always like to turn to experts at this point.

Most people still view stamina and endurance as the same.

If you didn’t know the difference before, now you do.

Therefore, we’re going to focus on endurance. It is the first step. How do you build your athletic endurance so you can wrestle for a long match?

Always remember, you must build endurance first, otherwise your stamina is pointless because if you can’t endure, you will tire out and lose anyway.

Focus on building endurance first. Stamina is taking your endurance to your highest level.

How to Increase Stamina and Cardiovascular Endurance: An Essential Guide for Enhanced Athletic Performance Kindle Edition

By Ashton Temple (Author)

While motivation and willingness are essential to an effective physical training regimen, capacity is another thing. As far as being athletic is concerned, this capacity is called "stamina." Stamina is what guarantees that your body will be able to withstand the necessary effort to exercise and thereby reap the benefits of that effort.

Since physical fitness is not only about how much you can lift at the gym, or how good you look in a bathing suit, having the cardiovascular endurance to get you through your entire workout - however long you decide that should be - is equally, if not more, important.

This book is designed to provide you with the various components of increasing your stamina so that you can finally maximize your athletic performance. Whether you’re an athlete who's currently training for a marathon, a fitness junkie looking to spend a few more hours at the gym, or just the average Joe who wants to run a little further on your morning jog without running out of breath, the sky's the limit when it comes to your endurance potential. All you need to do is take the first step and follow the guidance laid out in this book. Before you know it, you'll look in the mirror and see a much healthier, fitter version of yourself.

Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn...

• Working with the Right Gear
• Planning Your Workout
• Intensifying Your Workout
• Endurance Exercises to Complement your Workout
• Important Final Reminders for Motivation and Safety
• Much, much more!

Well, back to the present. Sounds like a great read and effective guide to build your endurance.

Now we are going to turn our attention to a visiting writer who can share additional thoughts regarding building your endurance.

How to Build Stamina, Strength, and Endurance in Your Legs and Work Your Core Too

By Robert Choat

Our legs carry the largest muscles in our body. They do massive amounts of work each day when they are utilized. Because of this they also need a lot of energy to keep them going. You need your legs for all kinds of things. They may save your life in an emergency and are the primary movers when lifting heavy objects off the ground.

There are several exercises that will help your legs get stronger, build stamina, build endurance, and also will help to work your core. You'll want to work your legs twice a week with these exercises. You don't have to do all of them for every workout. It may be good to change it up once in a while.

So what are the exercises that you can do?

1. Squats. These are the king of leg workouts. They will build massive muscle and strength if you are lifting heavy weights and will also workout parts of your core. Squats can be done using your own body weight or by adding weight. Either way you will notice results. The weight you use, the more strength and size you will gain. The less weight, but higher repetitions will build stamina and endurance.
2. Deadlifts. When you talk about an all-around lifting exercise, the deadlift is it. Not only will the deadlift work out your legs and hips, it will place a lot of emphasis on your core area, your back, your arms, your chest, and your shoulders. Like the squat, the deadlift can be adjusted for building muscle and strength to building stamina and endurance.
3. Walking Lunges. You will build a lot of endurance and stamina as well as muscle using this exercise. You can also carry weight, like a pair of dumbbells when doing these. Some people even carry a barbell on their shoulder for more weight. This is challenging because you will put more emphasis on your quads and balance. It is a great exercise to do outdoors - like in a park.
4. Jumping Lunges. These will build a lot of endurance and stamina in your legs. Since this is also a plyometric type of exercise, it will build explosiveness in your legs which increases power. If you do them in an interval type of exercise routine, your metabolic rate will increase. Also balance comes into play.
5. Jumping squats. These work much the same way as jumping lunges, just without the focus on balance.
6. Burpees. These exercises when done with jumps, will build your core, your legs, your stamina, and your endurance. Most sports teams and the military rely on this exercise for a total body workout. Many people hate these because they really challenge one's fitness level, especially if they are part of a high intensity interval routine.
7. Sprints. If you ever looked at a sprinter's body, then you will notice how fit they look. Sprinting is a great overall body exercise that will challenge every area of your legs, core, and even upper body. They can also be done as part of interval training. For an added challenge, do hill sprints. They really work the quads and will also reduce the chance of a hamstring injury.

Your legs will get a great workout with these exercises and you can do most of them anywhere. You may need a trainer to help you with proper form and they are worth it, especially if they know what they are doing.

Keep challenging your body for great fitness.
