Endurance Sports

Endurance sports refer to physical activities that require athletes to sustain prolonged periods of intense effort, typically over a duration of more than an hour. These sports emphasize cardiovascular fitness, stamina, and the ability to maintain a steady pace over long distances. Examples of endurance sports include long-distance running, cycling, swimming, rowing, and triathlons. Participants in endurance sports often train for extended periods, focusing on building aerobic capacity and muscular endurance. The challenges of endurance sports include physical and mental fatigue, and athletes must develop strategies for hydration, nutrition, and recovery to optimize performance.
