Tyrell and John both have excellent muscular endurance
C.
John has a better ability in muscular strength, and Tyrell has a better ability in muscular endurance
D.
John and Tyrell both have excellent muscular endurance, but Tyrell has better muscular strength

Answer 1

The answer would be C ❤

Answer 2

C. John has a better ability in muscular strength, and Tyrell has a better ability in muscular endurance

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscle strength is defined as the strength or tension that a muscle or, more correctly, a muscle group can exert against resistance in a maximum effort. There are four basic types of muscle contraction: isotonic, isometric, eccentric, and isokinetic. When performing long jump, John needs muscle strength in his leg muscles to get the momentum needed to reach high distances with his heels. For this reason, we can say that John has a better muscle strength ability.

Muscle endurance, in turn, is defined by the ability of the muscle group to exert submaximal exertion over an extended period. Tyrell does two-sprinting, which means that the muscles in his legs must be highly resilient to overcome all the physical exertion of the sport. For this reason, we can say that Tyrell has a better muscle endurance capacity.
