Special form of muscular endurance; efficiency of heart, lungs, and vascular system in delivering oxygen to the muscle tissues so that physical work can be maintained. A person’s ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles is affected by many physiological parameters, including heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and maximal oxygen consumption.

Term
Power
Definition

Rate at which work is performed and amount of energy used; p=w/t power equals work divided by time

Term
Speed
